I too got addicted to Xanax when it was prescribed to me. I had to wean myself off of it, and it is difficult, but it can be done if you have enough left.
You should ask your doctor for a weaning schedule to get off of it. Plus make sure you have benedryl in the house, as that will help with the effects of withdrawal. I could give you a weaning schedule, but the moderators here would probably delete it. So ask your doctor for one.
Best of luck, and PLEASE let us know how you did. By the way DO NOT cold-turkey or you'll have seizures and you could possibly die. god bless. Hugs, Lee
