Hey guys,
Hope all is well.
I just had a question in regards to tapering your Xanax dosage. I have been taking Xanax for a year now and take 6mg a day (2mg Xanax bars three times daily). However, I don't want to be "barred out" for the rest of my life and I would like to get off of these things soon and was wondering what the best way to go about doing this would be. I know Valium is great for getting off of benzos due to it's fairly long half life and withdrawal reduction, but my question is:
Should I slowly taper my Xanax dosage to say; 4mg a day, and then to 2mg a day, AND THEN get on Valium to decrease withdrawal symptoms and help completely get off of benzos? Or should I just start taking the Valium immediately after my last daily dose of Xanax? I do have pretty moderate anxiety, trouble sleeping, and agitation due to a traumatic brain injury I received in 2015 hence while I have been on benzos to begin with.
ANY and ALL help would be greatly appreciated as I am trying to go about this the safest and most correct way possible.
Thanks again, guys. Have a great night and be safe.
Hope all is well.
