But I have no idea how to go from 4-5 pills a day down to just one very suddenly.

I don’t know what to do. If I call my doctor he may yank me off it completely. But things are still bad even with 4-5 a day anyways so is it even worth being on it anymore.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
I am sorry you are in a tough spot. I know with me I am prescribed 2mg of xanax a day but only take 1mg for fear of letting my tolerance sky rocket. You are taking a high dosage of xanax now. I would be honest with my pdoc even if he decides to pull you off of it. He can at least do a taper with you and get you down to a safer dosage so you can come off of it safely. best of luck.
