Read the Ashton Manual. It gives the best advice on weaning off Benzodiazepines. And good luck!!

Hi Scruffeddupkitty, PrimoB is right in that the Dr. Heather Ashton method of

weaning off Benzos is a safe and widely used method. I had been left on a small

dose of Xanax for 30 years when it no longer worked. Was switched to Ativan that

didn't do anything. I decided I wanted off all Benzos. My psychiatrist specializes

in Benzo addictions/Dependency patients. I was the latter. He used the Ashton method on me. Because of the length of time I was on Xanax, it took me 2 years to wean off it

safely. It's been over 5 years that I am benzo free. Good Luck x
