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.
