Question: Only took .25 once a day, not every day for a year, some days I took none, some days I took half of the .25, now have tapered for about 3 weeks of xanax, ended with half of .25 From Wed, the 18 th, until the 26 th took none. Then head Dr. said your doing it wrong. For next 7 days take 1/4 of .25, then for 10 days skip every other day. Then for next 3 weeks take 1/4 of a .25 once a week, then stop. I just talked to Phizer who makes xanax and they could not find a taper schedule for 1/4 of .25. 2 MD's now have told me I should have no problem stopping this small of a dose, and the head Dr. says wrong and gave me this schedule. What am I to believe?

I haven't stopped. 22nd until the 2nd of Feb I took 1/4 as prescribed by Psychiatrist, then as prescribed on the 3rd I did not, then 4th 1/4, repeat in this pattern until tonight when I am supposed to take 1/4,but I have not. She has me going like this until the 15th. Then starting the 16th through the 22nd, she said to only take 1/4 in the whole week, repeat for 2 more weeks and stop totally. What I am asking is my regular family doctor told me months ago not to worry as I take a small dose, and then I went to another Dr. who basically said when I explained the period of time before the 27th when I didn't take any for a week that I should have no problem. My question is who do I believe? The 2 family doctors or the Psychiatrist? It seems odd to take the pill every other day for 10 days and then only one a week for 3 weeks. I am feeling anxious at times, worrying about whether I will have serious complications like a seizure ( which my family doctor said months ago not to be concerned about) and most times I feel alright. I want to stop now, please answer. I still have not taken the 1/4 tonight as prescribed.
