Tapering schedule suggested
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for writing in.
Since you have taken Xanax continuously for the last 8 days, it is better to taper down the drug gradually. I would suggest the following tapering schedule:
0.75mg for 5 days, followed by,
0.5mg for 5 days, followed by,
0.25mg for 5 days, and then stop.
