if you've been on this a while and try to do a fast taper, it won't work, period. to reduce the risk of seizure you would want to reduce your dose over a few days at the very least. most people taper over the course of weeks or months, though...and even that can be very difficult. best thing to do is not run out and talk to your doc.

what is your daily dose and how long have you been taking it?

ditto!! Doctor needs to wean you off.  If your script is going to run our early because you are over using then be honest with your doctor and tell him you want to come off and to please help you taper so you don't get sick.  take care and let us know what happens.

It's best you talk with your dr about this, you do not want to cold turkey from xanax, it can be dangerous. A slow taper is the best and your dr can help you set up a plan for that. How long have you been on it?
