What's the best way to get off Xanax if on it for years?

Please read the Aston Manual. I had convulsions when I was taken off of valium by a doctor that quickly. I could have died. Alcohol and Benzos are the only drugs you can die from coming off of too quickly. If you come off too quickly you are more likely to have a protracted withdrawal. I would go very slow.
Best of luck.

I have been taking xanax since I was 16 and I am now 62. I have taken 4 mg of xanax on a daily basis. I know it is not the recommended drug for panic attacks but that's what I have. The attacks are paralyzing. If I didn't have xanax I don't know what would happen.
I have gone through one detox program for Xanax when I was 30. It was a 30 day program where they weaned me off with valium I think it started with 20 mg the first couple days then tapered off.
I find myself in the same predicament 30 years later taking 1mg tables 4 x a day. My dr dropped me down to 2 1 mg a day but I am panicky all day even with the 2 1 mg. Should he have dropped me off from 4 to 2 at one time? I just wonder if it was done properly. Thanks.
