Urgh, been on 5 mg xanax at night for a long ol' time, (yeah, 5, not .5) (before that, valium, before that, klonapin...) and the pdoc decided to back off 1 mg a week since last hospital visit. Down to 2 mg and feeling like crap. They are bringing me back up because the bottom keeps falling out of my days. Then the idea is to go down .5 a week.
I thought 1 mg a week seemed reasonable, is anybody else this stupidly sensitive???

I'm on my way up, not down. Nothing else gets me to sleep without giving me a migraine and my klonopin is crapping out on me...sometimes I take 4mg a night....God I hope I don't have to go into detox....that would suck!
Years ago I was on a high dose and was for about 5 years. They brought me down .25 mg a week. I was still uncomfortable. Follow your doctors orders, please. If not, it can cause jaundice, seizures, etc.
