What is tapering dosage of zanax?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It depends what your starting dose is. Generally speaking if a patient has been on the medicine for a long time and the dose is not trivial, i would reduce the total daily dose by 1/4 mg about once a week. But the best bet is to consult with a clinician who can assess the overall situation.
