Specializes in Psychiatry

Only if prescribed: Combining 2 benzodiazepines can accentuate side effects of sedation, etc. Most doctors would not be doing this routinely. Only if prescribed should any medications be taken at all.

A member asked:

Is it safe to switch from xanax .5mg 3 times daily to klonopin 3 times daily under Psychiatrist's care? I am wanting to get off benzos and he suggested this tapering method. Said it would be 3 months total and I should be off the klonopin.
