I am sooooooooo scared to do this :( I'm trying to start the water taper for my xanax... I take 0.25mg twice a day... So equaling 0.5 ... Did you dose your regular doses in water first? Before pulling? ... Congratulations on getting down that much! Keep going man
Compounding is where your medication comes in a special powder & it is then mixed with a special liquid. It allows you to do a very precise amount to cut. You need a pharmacy that specializes in compounding. It saved my life
@@laurineal4711 that sounds like something i need to do because I've tried dry cutting and water taper and nothing is working....i feel so hopeless .. Thank you for answering
Anytime. Hopefully you have a good doctor that works with you. Look for a pharmacy that does compounding. Call them & talk to them about your situation. It took me a year and a half to get off of 3 milligrams if lorezapam The compounding helped me have a very precise cut. Just know that you probably will experience some worsening of your withdrawal symptoms initially when changing to compounding. It’s just the formulation that your body is adjusting to but once it does, it’ll make it much easier for you. No guesswork. I wish you lots of luck. Do not despair. You will make it through this. I used to hate when people told me that, but I did make it through. Merry Christmas.
@@laurineal4711 thank you so much my doctor is ok shes not the best.. she wanted to switch me to Valium and then an antidepressant but i said no... And the valium my body didnt tolerate so now i have to find a way to taper...

Keep up the progress. You look healthier than in some of your earlier videos.

I would never taper Xanax. It's too short acting. I only recommend water tapering Long Half-Life Benzos.
Have you thought of compounding? It helped me to taper
Whats compounding??? I'm trying to get off 0.5 Xanax daily after 3 yrs i would like to hear about this

Where you in tolerance when you started taper
No, I CT'd everything. I re-instated 15 months later and am doing a gradual liquid micro-taper. I am feeling great. Thank you.
How long were you on Valium before starting your taper?
15 years
