Hi Abby,
I was able to w/d from Xanax after 10 yrs.
successfully with an Ashton-like/psychiatrist
approved tapering schedule with tolerable effects.I was not able to withdraw from clonazepam (7 yrs. on 0.5 - 1.0mg) --
i think that drug did change my brain chemistry
-- at least the 1 and a half years of bad w/d made it seem that way. I had to reinstate at a higher dose to stop them.I imagine 20 yrs. on this would make it unwise
to stop.Squiggles
