Benzos Need help getting off Xanax

[NeedYourHelp]

Hi,

I've been taking 1mg Xanax 3x a day for the last 6 or 7 years daily...
I'd like to finally be off of them and I'd like to do a hard taper. I was wondering if dropping one miligram every three weeks would be safe? I'd just like to be clean so I'm no longer dependent on it, and so I can be myself again and move on with my life. I'd like any help and suggestions and would appreciate both greatly. Thanks!

I'd say if they were prescribed then discuss your intentions with your provider. If they weren't then your time frame is right but you may find it easier to drop more smoothly than a mg at a time like 1/4 mg each week instead of a 1mg drop every three.

A milligram every 3 weeks sounds like too much.
You should google the Ashton manual and maybe switch to a longer acting benzo like diazepam.
