Alprazolam taper

Posted by JONO_IN_ADELAIDE on August 21, 2011, at 18:41:42

I decided that stopping alprazolam "cold turkey" would be dumb, there is no pressing rush.

I cut my dose back from 1mg three times a day to 1mg twice a day six months ago, without any issues, now I have gone down to 0.5mg in the morning and 1mg at night, will hold there for 2 weeks, then try and go down to 0.5mg morning and night.

My goal would be to stop taking it every day, and just take a pill when I feel the need, and let the antidpressants and risperidone look after the daily anxiety.

No apparent withdrawl reaction so far, maybe feeling a little more tense/anxious, but that could just be power of suggestion
