Whether you do them one at a time or together, I think the most important things are to do it very slowly and in very small steps. Whatever tricks you have to use to make custom sized doses, do it. For example, instead of going from 2.0mg xanax to 1.5mg, go from 2.0mg to 1.8mg. Stay at each new dose until you feel you have stabilized there, maybe 4 days to 2 weeks. Don't be in a hurry.
If it takes months to do a long slow taper in very tiny steps, fine. Just keep your eye on the goal and don't rush it.
Just my opinions though.
Also, go to the alternative board and ask what can help. Supplements like gaba and taurine and magnesium can be of great benefit and can speed up the whole process.
