[Pa...] Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Hello Bdsong, welcome to BenzoBuddies, We're glad you're here, this is a rough process and its so important to have support from people who understand what you're feeling, no one gets this. What is your taper like, we suggest reducing by about 5-10% of your dose every couple of weeks or whatever your symptoms dictate, we need to stay functional while getting off of the drug. I hope you're only tapering the Xanax for now, we suggest tapering one medication at a time so you can know what is causing what so you can make adjustments if necessary. I'll provide some links to resources but please let us know what you need.
