> I know the conventional wisdom would have me switch from xanax to klonopin to do the taper but the results were awfull. The longer acting klonopin not only gave me worse withdrawal than coming slow off xanax I had more severe persisitent anxiety at a taper of .25mg per week.off of a 4mg dose. I have been on benzos for 3 years and I think that long of time makes this withdrawal process even worse. But even still I would not change a thing this is the price I am paying for 2 wonderfull years of no panic, no anxiety etc. I am just bummed it's over. Oh by the way my mom is coming off valium....very long acting and she is worse off than I am.....so as usual every ones's mileage varies.
