J:
Have you considered switching to a longer-acting benzo? I used Klonopin to taper off Xanax. I was having interdose withdrawal symptoms on Xanax, but found I could dose once daily at bedtime with Klonopin. The withdrawal, done slowly (.25 per week), had minimal problems (some tremors and tinnitus mostly).

> Well since everyone agrees that the last 2mg will be the worst, I'll be very patient at this stage -.5mg/2weeks. I don't need any additional meds as yet, but if I do I'll check out the Neurontin and stuff. Thanks for the advice everyone.
