How much should I taper?
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.
It's GREAT to see you again posting.
Please email me at ***@**** for directions.

Hey Chezz - glad to see you back posting again. You'll be glad to hear I've tapered my hydros in half and have kept my head out of the Jack Daniel bottle since Thanksgiving. My thanks to you when I first came to the forum and you answered my posts; if you remember, I was a mess (now I'm just half a mess!)...smile
Hope you're doing well. Love/Peace, Lisabet

What a passionate group, I'd like to be in buisness with all of ya'll. We'd either kill each other or make millions!
Please no one get out!

Wow! I had no idea I pull all that into (Please)listen to me. (You left out the "please" in my post btw...You also conveniently either left out, or did not read, this part of my post:
"I do not run this forum, nor am I in charge, it is just a request. In fact, I am nothing here...and will try and stay that way. But I broke this rule, so help me keep it in mind OK?"
I said that big city boy stuff simply to state that I think people may think I am naive for believing Finished? without question...
Sorry, and I'm starting to see what people mean about the history of this place. It's nice to have the "oldtimers" stick their head in here every once in a while and tell us how we're doing it all wrong ;-).
Apologies to all........

Think I've over-stayed my welcome here too.
I wish everyone the very best and hope that you find the help you need here. If not, hang in there. Things seem to ebb and flow.
Remember, there are fine people here. Sometimes things get a little wierd, but they always fade. Not because of harsh comments, anst or picking sides but because that's the way it is. It's cyclical folks. Just like life. Some prefer to pound heated issues straight while others simply wait the storm out for calmer waters.
When someone brings a topic up that gets heated, who's fault is it that everyone gets pissed? The person bringing up the topic or our misconception of their intent?
Be happy, it's all good.

And No Rex I wouldn't agree that your big city boy butt has seen it all living in Miami, San Diego, and Atlanta.
Glad to see you have lived. But I think it would be wise to not step on people's toes that haven't lived in a big city.
I am glad to see you have lived in some big cities. But I don't see that as something that provides someone with anymore knowledge than someone who has not.
I just returned from Tokyo after living there for 5 years. I also travelled extensively through the Far-east while I was there. To included Korea, Okinawa, Guam, Indonesia. As well as Europe via Germany, Italy, Austria, as well as other provinces.
I have also vacationed in the Bahamas, Hawaii, Florida, ect.
This all after I lived in Riyadh, Saudia Arabia after the war for 6 months.
All of this and I am only 28. This in NO WAY makes me any more knowledgeable or "worldly" than anybody else on this forum.
My friends here know I am humbled by the things I have been able to experience these things in my short life.
I just don't think it is fair for you to say "listen to me" since you are a big city boy.
Take this for what it is......Someone who has put there time in here, helped out a lot of people, and just wants to help you understand that can't come in here for a month and expect to get "respect" via "listen to me".
You are helping a lot of people here, I have read some of your posts and posts back to you. So continue on.......Just keep in mind that there are others ways to get your point across without making people feel like they haven't lived since they haven't had the same opportunities in life...........
