Benzos Need help with Xanax taper

[beagleboy]

I was at the hospital for alcohol detox, and three days without Xanax and I started to feel Xanax withdrawls. I want to come off the Xanax altogether except for the rare occasions ( stim binges ) when I feel they would help.
I use to be scripted suboxone, and was on it for 8 months at 12mg. I checked into a psyche ward, and I slept for like 5 days, and I was OK.

I have been taking 1.5mg daily for 5 or 6 months.

My question is, how should I do the taper?
Would Lorapamadine ( immodium ad) help?
Is it worth it to get on suboxone for this little benzo habit of mine, only to have to detox from that also? I would get it for free.

Suboxone and benzo's have nothing to do with each other, but I assume you know that. I really wouldn't use one to get off the other. It's just going to be back in forth forever. Why not talk to a doc about getting off? Switch to valium and taper from there, it's easier.
