In reply to ANY SUCCESSFUL XANAX TAPER'S OUT THERE?, posted by BUCKEYE FANATIC on July 28, 2006, at 10:06:56
I've only tapered off 2mg a day after being on it for 6 weeks, so my taper really doesn't compare to yours. But I did it by cutting little chunks off the pills every 2 or 3 days or so. It was actually fairly easy until the last .25mg. The last little bit was the hardest.
I've read in places and heard from others here that a good way to help the taper is to start mixing the xanax with valium. That is, substitute part of your regular xanax dose with valium instead. With a little valium in the background, with a halflife of about 200 hours, it makes dropping the xanax dosage easier and faster. The eventual taper off the last bit of valium is easier than xanax.
