I have been on Xanax 0.5 mg once a day for nearly five weeks until my psychiatrist put me on Hydroxyzine and asked me to stop taking Xanax daily and to tale it only when need it. For four days I was fine until the fifth day I experienced a panic attack and anxiety, then I took it. I want to taper off it. He refuses to give me a taper plan. What’s the safest way to get off it, since it only been five weeks?

I was on .50 of Xanax 2 x per day for 24 years. When my body hit tolerance, I had to wean off very slowly with water titration. Maybe you need a doctor that specializes in addiction to help you with that. Otherwise, you can read about it in Dr. Heather Ashton's manual. I think there is a video on Youtube about her.
