I know I wouldn't take these meds if I didn't have to.
Being that your only at .50 Mgs of Xanax you shouldn't have too much trouble tapering off it. One could also taper off lex at the same time. The two meds are so different that I don't see a problem with tapering both.
Just to make you feel better, I take 3 Mgs a day of Xanax. Imagine trying to come off that high a dosage.
I think it's good that your quiting the Xanax. Were really not supposed to take Xanax for years at a time anyway.
Just go slow with that Xanax.
