Help with staying with DLMT or go back to cut and hold - Xanax

[[to...]]

I was doing the cut and hold method when I started my taper in January 2019, I was taking 3.5 mg Xanax and when I started my taper, I was making .25 mg cuts a month and holding.  I was doing ok until the last cut and hold and stayed there for 40 days. 

I started a DLMT 12 days ago and am having a lot of symptoms even though with the DLMT I am tapering less than with the cut and hold method.  i am having headaches, ear pressure, irritability and other sxs that are uncomfortable.

I was pretty much for the most part doing ok with cut and hold.  I am wondering if I should go back to that as that seemed more tolerable for me.  I am extremely sensitive to meds and even though it is the same medicine, the method by which I take it seems to make a difference. 

 

Need some advice.  I am miserable right now.  The headaches are relentless.

Thanks.
