How to Get off Xanax and / or Klonopin
Sooooo, how do you get off Xanax??? The following information is an alternative way of overcoming any kind of Benzo medication - but mostly for Xanax and Klonopin. You will still have to face xanax withdrawal symptoms, but with dedication - you can beat the odds and live normal again.
Well, here it is. First, you have to get a pill cutter. What your going to do is cut pills up just a little and take the remaining. Let me give you an example:
Let's say you take three dosages a day, 1 mg each. What you want to do is reduce the 1 mg to .75 mg. If your pills are 1 mg each, then take a pill cutter and cut the pill into four pieces. Take the three divided portions and put the fourth portion back into the prescription bottle.
Do this for about a month or two. If it gets to uncomfortable for you to taper off .25, then slice the .25 mg portion you were going to put back into the bottle, in half. No matter what it is, just keep tapering it off, but do it slowly.
It might take you a year or two to finally taper off of it completely, but what's the hurry? If you have been taking Xanax for years - just take your time in tapering off the medication.
