im nervous

i have been on a 3 week xanax binge taking anywhere from 4-12mg a day, i want to stop. I have 30 2 mg white sticks left. How do i wean myself off them, without having a seizure. please help me i am very scared, i made a huge mistake and i have to rectify this. I have no medical coverage so i must do this on my own. thank you

Even though you don't have coverage you are going to have to get medical help at the end of your weaning...start by lowering the daily dose to absolute minimum....as quickly as you can to 3  a day, then to 2, then to 1...before you stop altogether you must get a doctor to cover you for possible seizures with another medication in order to be safe.

Abusing prescription medication can be extremely dangerous.  I guess we both know that.
You'll have to wait for the doctor, or another member with experience, to offer advice.
I would think that if you had been taking up to 12 mg a day that you might not have enough to complete a safe taper.  I don't know.
It sounds like you could do with a truckload of support.  I would be extremely concerned that something like this may happen again.  It sounds like something pushed you to take all that stuff in the first place.

I hope my post doesn't read as too harsh.  I'm just concerned.  I know nobody has responded to your post for a few days so I hope you're doing OK for now.

Take care.
