In reply to Xanax 1 mg: Too high to get off?, posted by Pluto on September 4, 2006, at 23:14:34

> I am taking 1 mg of Xanax (0.5 twice daily) for the past one or two months. Do you think this dose is too high to cause signifant withdrawal problems if I want to stop ? I took same amount of Klonopin in the past for years but had no problems to come off. I stopped it almost cold turkey.

Usually about 10+% per week or less if you can't stand it. Only suggesting converting to Valium because then you don't have to worry about short half lives and the double withdrawal between the two times you take the Xanax (which is sometimes actually taken 4 times a day.)
You'll get there
