I took Xanax for 18 months as rescue and for high anxiety. .5 mg 1- 3 times daily. I was also on 1.0 Klonopin 18 months at the same time for sleep.
I tapered off the Xanax first. Stayed with the Klonopin for 6 months then tapered off it the same way I did with Xanax.
I do take an antidepressant daily, as well as a non narcotic sleep aid . I’ve suffered from high anxiety my entire life. I’m doing well!
