> I've heard that the way to go, in case one is experiencing difficulty in getting off a benzo, is to first cross-taper to Valium, and then use Valium's long half-life and small dose increments to wean off gradually.
Yes - I've done that and it works very well. I've also just tapered the Xanax over 3 or 4 months. It was a lot more pleasant, and faster, switching to Valium first.
