Trazadone and Xanax taper

Thanks for this. I didn't try the Trazadone at all and am continuing to taper off the Xanax which can take a long time. I will ask my doctor about Quiviq. Years ago I was addicted to Ambien and it took many months and transitions to other meds to get off it. Since I am not due for surgery I have time to complete the Xanax taper. One worry is that I have a
bad tinnitus that Xanax helps, so that have to balance the reduction with white noise generators to deal with the tinnitus. Best wishes for your surgery.

@benedetti1, interesting, as I also have tinnitus and did not see any improvement with or without Xanax. I transitioned off Xanax more quickly than advised, but got lucky as any side-effects were minimal, only sleep-related (extra laps around the house during the sleepless hours).
