Tapering too quickly from Xanax?

Posted by Alara on April 21, 2003, at 7:14:26

I've been taking Xanax since late September and my doctor wants me to wean off it. I cut down from 0.5mg to 0.25 mg over Easter but have a feeling of pressure in my head and am sleeping poorly. (I also have a tummy upset but don't know whether this is related to the withdrawal.) Emotionally I am fine but I am a little worried as I am due to start work again tomorrow and can't afford any hiccups.
How long will the withdrawal process last? I'm unsure about whether to ask my doctor for one last repeat so that I can taper off more gradually. Am I trying to cut down too quickly?
Any advice would help. Thanks.
