I have been on Xanax for at least 10 years. Only taken them like my doctor says. 1mg three times a day as needed. Most of the time I do just that. Now he wants to take me off Xanax and put my on Effexor XR. Nothing was said about what will happen. He wants me to start taking 37.5mg for 7 days then up to 75mg for another week and let him know how I am feeling. He said to keep taking the Xanax but try to take less. Have anyone did this before? What about Xanax withdrawls? Am I getting myself into something worse with the Effexor XR? Can anyone share some thought on this with me? Thanks....
