Anyone have any experience? I'm at 2mg a day. I can handle 1.5mg a day but but I haven't consistently done it yet. I'm not pregnant, but I want to in the near future and be off of xanax obviously while I do.

If you want off it I would switch to diazepam and then decrease by about 10% a week. A psychiatrist should know the equivalents. It's a pretty painless process.

That is Valium, right? Would Klonopin work just as well?

no vallium is the best way to go as it has the longest half life and you can taper more easily. they even have liquid so you can use dropperful with the tiniest of doses.

I understand your concerns, LittleEarthquakes. I'd suggest to talk to your Pdoc about this if you haven't already. Hopefully he/she will know what to do. I'm so sorry, I wish I've had more advice to give to you. Stay safe and take care of yourself. Wish you good luck! Let us know how it goes. Sending many hugs to you

That being said, you are absolutely doing the right thing by tapering off the drug. The best advice is to go very very slow. It will be the best option for you by far. If .5 milligram drops become too much to handle, continue with .25mg drops. This should minimize your withdrawal symptoms. Keep your eye on the prize and remember why you're doing this. Think about your healthy baby and the benefits to your own health. You can do it! Just remember that feelings are temporary. Good luck! __________________ Recovering from the past.

Hi.
First off you're lucky as Xanax has short half life but it can take a long time for some. But I took camxa when needed for years and could start stop etc. But klonopin Clomazpam 48hr life in system after 2 years can't get off. But I do know a website that's extremely informative on benzopines. The domain name benzo.org is for sale | Undeveloped I found it extremely informative when realised I couldn't just stop(Dam Drs another story) it's also has a forum attached for every type of benzopines. people who are going through it, been through it etc etc it's worth a look and you will be fine. And I've always found over 20+ years people tell the you the truth Drs don't. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
