In reply to ANY SUCCESSFUL XANAX TAPER'S OUT THERE?, posted by BUCKEYE FANATIC on July 28, 2006, at 10:06:56
The Valium addition is the Ashton method mentioned at the beginning of the post. In the US, people often use Klonopin-switch from Xanax to Klonopin and taper the Klonopin. It's nice if you know a benzo that you can withdraw from very, very easily-that's Klonopin and Ativan for me. I'm taking some Xanax now, but not concerned about if I have to taper off, since I feel confident I can use the other two benzos during the withdrawal. If you don't switch benzos to Valium, it is quicker and may not be any more uncomfortable-if you taper the Xanax slowly enough. It's easy to get competetive and try and see how fast you can get the withdrawal over. I've done that. Bad idea. :>}
