Xanax (alprazolam) withdrawal: I understand your concern about withdrawal from Xanax (alprazolam). I commend you for wanting to overcome Dependence. If you are decreasing the dose by 20%every week, it is likely that you will wean off Xanax (alprazolam) with less discomfort. Do Breathing and Music Relaxation, Visual Imagery, Yoga, Meditation and Tai Chi. Drink Green tea and plenty of water. Walk in a State or National Park. See a Psychiatrist for Anxiety

Many things: Dr. Kumar provided many good suggestions. In addition to this try a good B complex and take magnesium, ideally as glycinate or taurate. Many supplements can help you relax including L-Theanine, Tulsi tea (Holy Basil), Passionflower, Valerian, Skullcap and Hops (look for combinations that include these). Meditation,aerobic exercise and yoga can help. The more gradually you wean the less difficult.
