I have a friend who is tapering off Xanax using telemedicine with a psychiatric nurse practitioner. I would not suggest doing it on your own. I’ve been off klonopin for 19 months now after a slow taper, with small adjustments every 6 weeks. It’s hard, but worth the freedom at the end. I was having balance issues, falls and memory lapses on klonopin. I didn’t realize how much until I was off it.
