I recently found some interesting information that most Doctors and Pychiatrist are unaware of. I was browsing www.craxymeds.com . Every benzodiazapine is interchangeable when it comes to tapering the dose or detoxing with the exception of the most addictive one Xanax (Alprazolam). Xanax must be tapered useing Xanax at a rate of .5mg every 3-7 days or even slower for higher doses ex. 4mg. a day and up. If you don't want to or can't go through a long and uncomfortable tapering process I recomend www.floridadetox.com they can detox you off any dose of Xanax or any other benzo with I.V. drugs in about 3 hours while you are awake, with no withdrawl. They also do Rapid Opiate Detox and they are one of about 3 places in the country that do it safely without any withdrawl.
