My Xanax Journey

[[se...]]

Hi, I’m a 22 year old female student, currently tapering off of my Xanax use. I honestly don’t know where I’m at because I was reckless the past weeks but I would say 2mgs a day.

Hello selfsabotaginger Welcome to Benzobuddies

 

We are glad you joined our community.  Well done starting your Xanax taper.  You’re going to be okay, slow is the way to go with benzos.  Browse the boards, and post questions, for members to respond.  You will find some very valuable information and some great support here.

 

It’s generally recommended to reduce your daily dose by somewhere between 5% and 10% every 10 - 14 days.  Many of us need to taper slower than this, listen to your body, whatever feels comfortable.

 

I would  suggest you check out The Ashton Manual, It is a great resource for understanding the effect benzodiazepines have on our body.

 

I'll leave you a few links:
