Wean yourself off one doseage for a week at a time, while widening the time period between dosages to compensate.

Uh, your doctor is nuts to prescribe you that much xanax and for that long.

Seriously, go find a real doctor, and get him to help wean you off of xanax. At the very least wean you down to a more sane level, 1mg 5 times a day is absolutely insane and im surprised your pharmacist has not reported your doctor for writing such a script as of yet.

I used klonopin to taper off of xanax, then I used valium to taper off klon. then decided I liked life a lot better on klonopin, so thats the bed ill lay in.

Thanks everyone for your replies. You all opened my eyes to seek a second opinion.
