I did know a woman that needed to get off of Xanax and she was in a facility to get off of it. They administered Buspar for her and she made the jump off of Xanax and did very well with the Buspar. She told me that you can go off of Buspar, whenever you are comfortable to do that. Keep in mind that you will be taking Buspar every day and it will take a month to see results. Maybe your doctor will have you take both of them together for a month? That would be something I would ask, since the withdrawals are so awful.

Thank you for this. I am happy to hear a positive story about Buspar. My doctor is prescribing it along with the Ativan taper. Do you have any idea how much her dosage of Buspar was? I think the dosage is the key?
