withdrawl from Xanax

I've been on Xanax 3mg a day for 5 years, how hard is it going to be to get off it and what should I expect.

i stopped xanax cold turkey in one day but i was on 0.375mg only. so i would say wean off slowly and keep yourself busy. try to take any natural substitute like herbs etc... to help you sleep. pdocs say one shouldn't exceed 0.75 otherwise it's addictive.

good luck

My doc told me to ween myself .25 mg a month till it's gone.

Hi adel my Pdoc asked me to wean myself off Xanax by reducing it by 0.125 mg every week till it's gone.

I take a half of a 1 mg at nite to go to sleep and have been doing this for 3 years. what would be the best procedure for me to quit as far as slowly cutting my dose down and then getting off of them??
