How much should I taper?

[shubunkin]

Hello, I am currently taking Xanax. I started taking 3/.5 mg a day. I have tapered now down to 2 and 1/4 pills a day. This has been done over a weeks period. The withdrawels have not been TOO bad except for the throat tightness and chest tightness. I am 28 years old and have been taking these for almost a year. I am also taking 20mg Paxil. How much should I taper weekly or should I say how much can I safely taper. I have read about seizures with this drug. Thankyou.

Anyone can create as many handles as they want on Med Help and use them to hold banal conversations with themselves. Unfortunately, the site needs to control access at the IP level, that is, the internet address of your individual computer. There are people that derive pleasure from slashing someone's tires, and, I guess, there are people that entertain themselves by insulting those of us on the forum that ernestly seek to help our fellow addicts. For what it's worth, Rex, I know you're one of us. No one could make up the posts you do LOL!

Thomas,

I am still quite lost on this issue of someone not being who they said they were.

I would like to know so I can avoid this myself..

Hello, my friend, I do indeed know you. You certainly proved you know me! How are you and your wife doing? You couldn't have fried your brain too much to recall all those details. I will see what I can do to get you onto a forum where everyone is who they say they are. This will require an e-mail from you so that your IP address can be checked against current members and non-members known for playing these idiotic games. Sorry I doubted you, but I'm sure you understand.

I was here back when all that **** was going on with a person named if I remember correctly "spook" I'm the one that you told me one time that there is a hospital bed with me and my hubby's name on it, I will tell you that we have not slowed down with the pills for over 3yrs,so my memory is really bad! I'm the one that had the heart attack,remember that wonderful lady who used to come here not for herself but for her daughter who had a bad heroin habit, damn! I can't remember her name! anyway, are all the oldtimers from that time on another site together? I remember that you really wanted to get clean, didn't you have like a 30yr habit with dervacets? didn't you have some seizures due to xnax..maybe I got you mixed up with someone else, I don't think so, but like I said, the only thing I've done is fry my brain more than before...do you remember me at all? take care
