get off xanax

I’ve decided to reduce my dose, in as small an increment as possible, every month or so. The smallest I can cut my pills is fourths, so I’ll stop taking a fourth of a pill every month.

Last week I went from 0.875 mg to 0.8125 mg per day. It wasn’t easy, but it wasn’t awful either. It’s such a tiny step, but it’s progress, so I’m posting it (:

this is a great site for those looking to withdraw from benzos. I’m currently on almost 1mg of Xanax a day and I imagine it’ll take me about six months to withdraw completely. I tried it before, but I went too fast and had horrible rebound anxiety and other symptoms. this time I’m taking my time!
