Going off of Xanax

I have severe bedbound long Covid. Xanax calms my multiple neuro inflammatory symptoms including nasal congestion.

Part of me wants to continue as it is the only thing that allows me relief.

Then I read horror stories of dependence. Not sure whether to continue or quit. Either way life is hellush.

If you continue do so with the thought that it will diminish in effectiveness over time. Which way makes life the least hellish?

I’m 62, with no life left if I don’t survive severe Long Covid…. Sad to say . 77 is young !

Xanax is also helping with other symptoms of nervous system inflammation.
