continued xanax withdrawal

I posted a few weeks ago. I'm still tapering off the xanax, down to .125 mg. once a day. I get sick to my stomach, jittery, anxious, feel like ****, brain fog at times. I've been tapering since around Nov. 11th. How long can I have physical and other symptoms? I was supposed to be skipping a day now - .125 one day, -0- the next, .125 one day ...
Is there any drug that can help me while doing this to make it easier? In the past I had horrible w/d from celexa and effexor - my chemical makeup. What about neurontin or something?

I have never had to use another covering medication, but if you are so sensitive ask your doctor about neurontin...its a real possibility.
