Re: Benzo Dosing Patterns Causing Withdrawl?

"High dose (2mg Xanax, 4mg Ativan, 1mg Klonopin/Rivotril)"

That's considered "high dose'? If that's the case then I know far too many docs prescribing mega-doses. I've been prescribed 2mg xanax 3 times daily in years gone by, and generally I take either 4mg clonazepam (klonipin/rivotril), 2-4mg alprazolam, or 40-60 mg diazepam daily, with permission from the doc, for many years. I would certainly never recommend anyone take that much and quit too quickly or cold turkey, but if a proper taper schedule is followed ht can be pretty painless to come off such doses. I've known some people to be prescribed up to 10mg xanax daily because their tolerance had slowly, under doc supervision, grown to that level. Is there such a thing as a benzo-holiday That'd probably be like a week on looney island.
