So I think you are going waaay too fast. First of all, I don't know which benzo is hardest to come off of...I've heard that about every benzo. Anyway, I've been on Klonopin for 20+ years, and want to stop taking it as it stopped being helpful for me years ago. I started out at 2 mg./day and took a full year to go from that 2 mg. down to 1 mg. Now, I'm not suggesting that you take that long to titrate down your Xanax, but I do believe you'd have more success by taking at least 2 or 3 months to fully stop the medication.

I understand the desire to get off quickly, but honestly, in my experience going too fast off a benzo backfires. I've ended up extremely sick and messed up from doing a quick taper.
