My husband figured it out. He says I’m at 13% (1.75 mg a week). He read that no 2 people are alike. Plus he read whatever your dosage is to begin 50 % reduction the first 2 weeks and then after that a 25% reduction the next 2 weeks. Another site he read if you’re on 6 mg the first 2 weeks you cut down to 4.5mg and the next 2 weeks you cut down to 3 and so on. We mentioned about the Valium to the dr. He believes I could get worse because of my sensitivity to medicines (we’ve known him for yrs). He mentioned awhile back when it was time to get off Xanax he was taking it slow. Like I said my body was in a withdrawal before reducing the Xanax. I know you’re not a dr. Not trying to be difficult. Just scared, anxious, stressed and depressed since the pandemic and everyday problems. I’m also on this site to see how people get thru terrible times. I appreciate all your help and any other advice. Thank you.

Again, that’s way too fast especially using Xanax which has a very short half life. I’m nearing the end of taking Xanax for 25 years. I’ll be 70 years old. Good luck on your journey! Let us know how you’re doing.
