less than 2% are able to stop at the 4mg level

and almost no one can stop taking it once it goes to 8mg & above (i.e. cancer patients using it for pain & anxiety)

and cold-turkey stopping the intake of xanax at levels higher than 4mg for more than 3+ months...leads to seizures & almost certain death

it has to be tapered down over several months, even years

one of the most dangerous & addictive drugs on the planet


you just don't realize it when you take 1-2mg every now & then
I agree with 100% i was on 3mg a day and slowly put myself down to 1mg a day. It was very hard to do. As my doctor said 1mg a day is safe BUT 3mg forget it!
