Benzos Insanity, xanax, need help with tapering schedule.....(life or death)

nycblueskie. thats basically stopping cold turkey. A three day taper from 2-6 mg's is just not a taper at all. I would say you just are not affected by withdrawal....as much as other. It takes minimal 2 weeks. And that is WAYY pushing it.
 
Sounds miserable. I rather do a real taper so I do not feel the effects (as much?). It has been 6 days since I have made this thread, and 7 days since I came back from my vacation and had the breakdown...I am still a little overwhelmed as I am having a hard time trying to stop smoking pot and find my real place in life. I smoke way less but still a little lost...

As far as the benzo's, I managed to get myself to the 2.5 milligrams a day without going into any panic attacks or anything lately. .5 every three hours starting at 9 am. I do not really "feel" the benzos at all anymore like I used to when taking a milligram or 2 milligrams in one shot, but I know it's the right thing to do....and like easy as said, its not fun anymore...now its a dependency that needs to end. I'll tell you another thing...trying to stop smoking marijuana just by urself after ten years is very difficult. I let myself smoke with friends, but no more sitting home ripping bongs all day.....
