Sorry this will be rather short, but I'm beat and need to hit the sack. At the top of this page you will find a box that says "Search MedHelp." Type in the word "XANAX" and you will find so many posts about getting off that particular med! Look for anything written by Ryan! He is our local pharmacological guru and trust me when I say he knows what he's talking about!
Post again and we'll talk more, OK?
Peace

It's basically a slow wean. You have to take your dose down slowly over a about a 3 week period. You may want to write down how much you take, keep a chart and each week go down by 1/4 of your dose. That's how my doctor did it with me.
Good luck & hang in there, this can be done.
