In reply to Xanax withdrawl - Any ideas?, posted by Tom on April 13, 2000, at 11:32:42
Tom,
I've been taking Xanax for many years, and I even tapered off it once. A year after getting off of Xanax, I got back on it simply because I preferred the quality of my life while taking it. I'm considering trying Klonopin again, which I had tried previously for only 6 months.
Whatever your reasons for wanting to get off of Xanax (or any benzo for that matter), very slow tapering is the key. In addition, it is imperative to do this with your doctor's guidance.
There is a very good article on the internet about weaning off Xanax. For comfort's sake, I personally would taper even slower than recommended. I'll paste the URL address below so you can copy and paste it into your web browser.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
