Whatever you do, DO NOT decrease the dose of your own accord. I'm serious, I just got off Xanax a week ago.

Xanax has an intense withdrawal. You need to decrease by 0.25 mg every two weeks. This might even be too much. You might want to cut your pill into fourths and decrease every two weeks. You have to take it slow, or you will get kicked in the face.

You are going to still feel withdrawal symptoms even with the small decreases, but it will be less dangerous overall.

Well I'm only taking .25mg a day so can't decrease it by .25 as it would be down to nothing
How much were you taking ?

I was taking 1.5 mg a day.

This is how it can be done for just 0.25 mg:

0.25 mg --> 0.125 mg (Cut in half - take for two weeks)
0.125 mg --> 0.0625 mg (Cut in half - take for two weeks)
Cease dose.
