How do you quit xanax without side effects?

Question by Goddess of Nuts PBUH: How do you quit xanax without side effects?
I want to quit xanax. I have only used if off and on for a little less than a month. I only take it when I am experiencing unbearable anxiety, and cannot calm myself. I think I need a different drug, I don’t really like feeling high as a kite. Is valium better, and not addictive? My psychaiatrist prescribes xanax like candy and he seems loathe to consider other options. I am only taking .50mg. It is prescribed 3x daily, but I never do. Only once or rarely twice. I feel no addiction, but I want to stop before then, or is it too late?

Let your psychiatrist know exactly what you are feeling and exactly how often you are taking the medicine. Then follow his advice. Don’t try taking your medication into your own hands, believe me its never that simple.

And most anti-anxiety medications are somewhat addictive if you have the addictive gene (especially Valium). If this is a serious concern for you, let your psychiatrist know.
