I have tapered off Zanax with Klon several times. Take it slow and its not bad however the undrlying anxiety returns and the last half miligram is very hard to give up. I now take 2 mg of K daily and will continue to until something better comes along. Zanax is great for occasional panic attacks. Try taking it for several years and you need 4 mg to equal what 1 did initially. K is much more benign and has little or no anti depressant effect. Many use SSRI with it. I have not felt the need to go beyond 2 sometimes 2.25 daily and an occasional Zanax when needed. I have friends who have taken a year to witghdraw from Z with Z and claimed that it was torture. Switch to Valiun or K and withdrawl is much easier. To take above 3-4 mg of Z daily is entering into the danger zone for post withdrawl syndrome.
