Hi Paracelsus

Sorry that I am the first responder after all of this time. I want to reply because I am now in the midst of withdrawing from clonazapam, also a benzo like alprazolam. I agree with you that I also do not want to be stuck on medication and have a dependence on them. It is known that xanax is very tough benzo to withdraw from so I hope you wait and go off of it very slowly when the semester ends because you will most likely suffer a withdrawal syndrome. Don't get me wrong as it is very doable but expect to taper off for a while at no more than a 10% reduction over a few months even on your dose. I am having all sorts of discomfort to include fatique so I would wait until you are in a place where you are not overloaded with responsibilities. Some people taper off using a liquid form but whatever you do, do not cold turkey. I wish you the very best.
