Thanks Jono, I haven't heard of that benzo. Seems there are infinite benzodiazepine forms.
I feel lucky right now that I have a pdoc I trust who I think knows what he is doing. So, I'll get his instructions. I think I was self-tapering too fast. This new pdoc has told me a number of times that Xanax is not like other benzos and can be for some lucky folks more difficult to discontinue. He went into an entire explanation which included the blood brain barrier and then ended with that the addictiveness of Xanax is still not completely understood but accepted as fact.
As I taper, I'll update if you are interested in how.
I dig a pony.
