> Thankshello franz, chemist here...i apologize to you and others for my tongue-in-cheek reply: i do enjoy green tea, purely from the standpoint of i like the way it tastes. my comments concerning the drugs luvox, dexedrine, and xanax were simply that i do not personally feel that green tea enhances or diminishes my mood/feelings in the way that the prescription medications do. i did not mean to imply that green tea is any better or worse than any other substance in re: cleaning out one's system, and apologize again for the inference. now, on to your question: i have in the past tapered up and down numerous drugs, and found that xanax was indeed the hardest to let go, and in all cases, i reduced dose over time. if you are concerned with the persistence of alprazolam and/or metabolites in your system, do post again, as i can dig up some numbers for half-lives, etc. should you wish. all the best, chemist
