I have been scripted from my Dr. 0.25mg of Xanax and taking 1mg per day mostly in the night hours to get me sleeping.
Until my next doctors visit, I have about 28 left. What if I only start now by taking 0.5mg per day or even skipping 3 days and then take 0.5mg again?

Is this a good way to taper off if I only have 28 pills left?

I want to take 0.5mg maybe every 3rd day or so until my next Dr visit....So I can avoid having really bad WDs.
For example, today is Wed. so I want to NOT take any Xanax at all until Sat. And If I do take it on Sat, the dose level would be 0.5mg instead of 1mg.

What do you all think? Is this a good way to "trickle" down my daily doses to avoid severe WDs?
