Benzos Time to get clean :]

[matchpoint88]

I've been on benzos for 3 years, all across the dosage board, from as little as .25 of xanax a day to as much as 80 mg of valium a day. Right now I am in the middle of that dose range around 2.5-3mg of a kpin(1 to 1.5mg daily), xanax(1 to 2mg daily),mix , ironically I was prescribed them for a sports injury, that was cured by manual therapy, so now I no longer need the benzos.

My question is, since I have a practically endless supply of both klonopin and xanax, which would be the best method to start slowly tapering to a dose of 1mg a day. My doctor is insanely back logged so I can't see him until April, however he told me himself that he doesn't believe the hype around xanax withdrawal, I however like to play it safe.

My goal is to end the combo and to get it down to a single mg of either k-pins or xanax. Besides a reasonably slow tapering method, if my primary goal is to quit, should I wean down to 1 mg of xanax or 1 mg of k-pin?

Thanks for the Help!

My best advice would be whatever you take daily take slightly less of until you feel ok then drop it more etc etc. Theres no real skill to it, just make sure you keep it up.

your doctor must of never popped a xanax in his life. the withdrawal is baaad. i would stop using xanax and cut down with the klonopin since it has a longer half life. but dont cut down too fast. stat off by only using the klonopin and stop the xanex. then make your way down. dont just stop cold turkey..u can go to detox also if u need help doing it. 3 years of benzos is quite a long time. i also want to quit benzos. even though they help so much with anxiety. but just take it easy take the kpins and slowly taper yourself. flush the xanys.
