Dr. Karl Benzio Says ...
good for you for wanting to get off the xanax. i hope you are doing this with the supervision of your psychiatrist, or at least your primary care doc. the benzodiazepines (the class xanax is in) and alcohol are the 2 detoxes that can actually be life threatening, so doctor supervision is important. you could go slower on your taper, meaning going down on the dose by smaller increments and staying at that dose a little longer. there is a neutriceutical supplement that is a liquid and allows for the vitamins and minerals as well as some herbal extracts to be absorbed much better to help detox. go to www.puriphyte.com and look at the testimonials and studies for puriphyte. only on the market for 2 months. type in Light when you order and get 5% off. our organization didn't develop it but a number of people we help have used it for multiple drug detox issues and find it very safe and helpful. again, contact your doc for a safer detox. don't forget to develop your support system and work with a therapist and meetings to make sure you address the underlying stuff so you can keep xanax off your list of coping mechanisms. may God lead you to a safe and healthy journey of transformation. will be praying for you.
