I've been taking 2mg or less per day of xanax (not prescribed so who knows if it was cut or not) for about three months. I've done this on and off for two years now (taking maybe month breaks in between when its not available to me), but taking 2mg per day has only been the last couple of months. I want to try to cut down, addiction runs in my family and I feel if I continue down this path I will reach a place I can't turn back from. I get prescribed 30 0.5mg lorazepam a month, and I was wondering if anyone had any opinions about whether or using lorazepam to taper down off of xanax would help in the experience of withdrawal effects. I have panic disorder and generalized anxiety as it is, so I worry myself into panic attacks that I am going to experience seizures as a result of stopping. Basically, if I use lorazepam to taper off, am I at risk for serious withdrawal effects like seizures and paranoia? Any opinions or facts would be appreciated. Thanks!
