I looked at the web site but did not see
any specific reduction rate program for
benzos -- only that they are difficult
to withdraw from.I can tell you from my own experience that
I successfully withdrew from XANAX with
relatively little pain - insomnia, nervousness,
panic, sensitivity to noise, etc. But it
was bearable. I was taking X for about 10
years (i think), at a very low dose 0.50 -max 2.50
-3.0 and had become addicted.I reduced the dose over 3 months from 1.50-2.0 to
0. As I recall I reduced decrementally every
week.But of course you should have good reasons
to reduce and check with your. dr. I did.Squiggles
