George's Wufe: Thank you for post on Xanex. I have CRPS and been on Xanex for a long time. I was always told never to just stop. It is one of those people who will be on it for the restcof my life. Tried to go down on the dose and did not do well!!! I pay a small co-pay and have no plans to go off. I also found THC gummies that work well on pain. I am off all of my pain meds except 3 day Fentanyl patch which I also will continue to use. I live in NJ and happy to have found them. Gentle hugs

@rmshackelton I had same issue with xanax when confusion about script with substitute doctor. I was taking just 1 mg daily but they were 1/2 mg tablets. When I went through withdrawals, which was terrible, I decided to taper down. I started doing the whole tablet in the morning and 1/2 in the evening. I did this for about 2 MONTHS. Then I went to just one tablet daily but I'd take 1/2 in morning and 1/2 in evening. I did this for about 2 or 3 months. I have been on a half tablet, which is 1/4 mg, for over 6 months. I could quit if I wanted but got too much going on. I live in Florida and they really come in handy during a hurricane. I don't like being on stuff that when there's the possibility you must do without, it's really torture. The 1/4 mg daily really takes the edge off. It's enough. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
