Super, I agree w/ Cam 100%. I stopped Xanax cold turkey and got really sick. Then I took Klonopin for several months to get thru Xanax withdrawal. When I reduced Klonopin I reduced by 1/8 mg every 2 weeks. May seem really slow but believe me, it's better than having withdrawal. If you go slow and use a longer-acting benzo you'll be in good shape. Don't be in a hurry b/c that will probably increase your anxiety about going off. But you can do it. By going slow w/ Klonopin I had no withdrawal and minimal rebound anxiety. Good luck.
