> I have been on xanax for 2 years, the doctor has me on 10 mg which I realize is high but I do not take this much, I usually take 2 to 3 mg a day for severe panic attacks.
IMHO...2-3 Xanax will not be that hard to decrease...easy does it though is in order...a few years ago, I was actually taking much more that 10mg a day and successfully reduced that number to 1 mg per day. Granted you are not only physically addicted but mentally as well...in my opinion, mentally is harder than physical.
I started by reducing my daily intake by only 1/4mg and would stay at that for a few days...then another 1/4...some weeks I felt I could bite the bullet and decrease the daily dosage by 1/2 mg...just go slow and be easy on yourself.
Granted, none of this is going to be easy but you CAN do it. Biofeedback helped during this time as well.
Good Luck and let us know how it goes.
Peace,
Jane
