I have generalized anxiety and take Xanax but trying to wean gradually under drs guidance. Does anyone take Xanax and CBD oil?

I hope this isn't too off-topic but I also have a GAD diagnosis. I was taking Xanax 1mg, three times per day. I was able to wean down to 1.5mg (.5mg tid) per day then hit the proverbial wall. The short half-life of Xanax lends itself to between dose withdrawal symptoms and it became too difficult. Switching to diazepam (Valium) in the titration process has made all the difference. It has a much longer half-life. I am now done to 4mg of diazepam per day and should complete the titration by mid-February. I have not experienced withdrawal AT ALL which, from everything I've read about benzodiazepines, is pretty amazing.

I’ve learned that taking xanax and cbd oil together adds to drowsiness and dizziness .

@rascal- I take CBD oil and it helps with my anxieties if I can't handle them myself. why are you trying to wean yourself off of Xanax? Are you having problems?
