Constant anxiety but want to quit xanax

2017-07-08 23:37:54
I have been taking xanax for a couple years now. I'm on .5 mg a day. However when my stress levels are high I take up to 1mg. I really want to quit but afraid to quit cold turkey. I'm so embarrassed to talk about my fears and anxiety yo anyone. How can I safely quit? I read online to not quit cold turkey. I'm a little scared.
