Hey Bro,
Dr. Heather Ashton is the expert in tapering off of Xanax. Here is her site address: http://www.benzo.org.uk/manual/bzcha01.htm.
You can find exact taper schedules, forums, faq's and a "contact us" email that they actually respond to most of the time. I am going through the same and her taper schedules come highly recommended to minimize WD symptoms.
