Trying to find help

I am a wife of someone who has been taking Xanax way before we even met he is going through the withdraw process. Trying to find ways to help with certain things that I can do my best at.

Hi ADG21

 

Welcome to BenzoBuddies!

 

It's wonderful of you to support your husband. I know how much my own spouse's support has meant to me. We will happily try and support you as well during this time. Can you tell us what is his current dose and how long has he been tapering for? What symptoms is he experiencing? Generally we recommend a taper of 5-10% of each new dose every two weeks or so, but it's best for him to let his symptoms guide his taper rate. We do this as it should allow him to remain functional.

 

I'll give you the following links to guide you around the forum:

You can look around and let us know if there's anything specific we can help you with.
