Re: xanax to valium ?

In reply to xanax to valium ?, posted by tubehead on November 7, 2001, at 14:25:38

I tapered off xanax using valium. I went down 20% off the existing dose every two weeks. For some reason I could always feel where I stood with valium and not with klonopin. Go slooooowly and be patient. Don't hesitate to go back up to the previous dose for a couple of days if you feel very uncomfortable. I still found I needed Valium around for infrequent panic attacks or AD startup effects. But I am not much of a candidate for benzo abuse. They make me tired when I have to use them to knock back a panic attack. You and your doctor are well informed. Many don't realize you can back off a short acting benzo this way. But you can!
