ammending severe xanax withdrawal

Posted by floatingbridge on July 18, 2011, at 9:34:00

I am experiencing a severe withdrawal from xanax. I was originally instructed to substitute with Valium, but I suspect underdosed. A three week taper didn't work :-/ though I tried it. Because I had/have been withdrawing from emsam, I haven't been able to tell what was what. I was tapering off from what had become a xanax 1.5-2.0mg daily total.

It's been a few weeks. I've become treatment avoidant and agoraphobic. When I look online, seems the sane thing to do is to taper more slowly on Valium or klonopin. I hate to restart a benzo, but it's been hellish and I think harmful.

I have read about tofranil as being helpful. Gabapentinin, too. Most other medical ammendments seem potentially
aggravating.

Does anyone here have experience stabilizing this type of withdrawal
process?
