I am tapering very slowly - I have heard about the infamous "Ashton Manual" about how to do this safely. I would love to hear about anyone else's experiences in tapering off alprazolam/Xanax. I was at 3 mg a day (sometimes even 4 mg/day, even though that was a no no) I am now at 1.5 mg/day. I've heard that this drug is more difficult to kick than heroin!
