It’s CRUCIAL that a some point you find a doctor that will not discontinue your prescription and do a very, very long proper taper. As a former 25 year Xanax user I will stick my neck out here and say it will take many years for you to get completely off this drug. You need to start looking for someone now in my opinion. Please go listen to ALL of Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring’s benzo videos on YouTube. He used to work for the FDA, he’s a physchiatrist and an unaddiction specialist. He explains things perfectly. Please listen to this doctor. It will take quite some time to listen to all his videos. Please message me if you would like to discuss anything else.

May I ask where you went and got treatment? They say here in this tiny town me in hospital I can be off in a month and I know that's impossible not a month ,I'm actually very scared . I will make note of the videos and watch them. Thank you for your help and support 🌹

Also go on FB and get on a benzo site. Ignore the horror stories . Most try to get off too fast . There is a man named David you email for a slow personalized taper. After going to countless Drs and psychiatrist which have no problem prescribing it but have no idea how to taper anyone off or want to taper you too fast. Put you in rehab ( useless and damaging for benzo dependence)I had to do my own search. It is so important you taper slowly off of these, with a good taper plan. Also check out water taper on U tube which David can make out a plan for you also. That is what Iam doing after being prescribed Ativan after my husband died and not being told how addictive it was . I wish you all the luck and as scary as this is you need to get a good taper plan ASAP. Iam 72 and this is not what I had planned on doing in my senior years.
You can do this❤️
