Around February 18th this year I was prescribed Xanax. Was in acute crisis. I was advised to take 0.5mg three times a day. More or less I've stuck to that. Some days I took just 0.5, and some I took up to 2mg, but roughly the average is 1.5 judging by the number of pills I've gone through. It's not possible for me to see a doctor again for a while, and I'm aware that nobody here can give medical advice. I feel like I'm through the crisis I was experiencing and would like to stop taking the pills. I've been using them for roughly 40 days. Would your advice be to stop cold turkey, or to do a bit of a taper? I have roughly 40 x 0.5mg tablets left. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I don't drink alcohol or use any other drugs. I have no history of addiction, although I probably did overdo it a bit with beer and weed as a student, but doubt that's at all relevant. Also, as I mentioned, there's no chance for me to see a doctor for the foreseeable future so I can't switch to a longer acting Benzo.
