Need help tapering
Around the beginning of April of this year, I started using (Illicitly obtained) prescription Xanax at a low dose (approx 0.25 - 0.5mg) infrequently. Around late April/ early May my usage became more consistent. And I found myself using upwards of almost 2 milligrams of xanax per day. Around Mother’s day is when I decided to cut back, but in the first week of trying to taper by myself i went from 2mg to 0.5 mg daily for a total of 7 days (like an idiot.) i then decided after those 7 days to increase my dosage to about 1.5 mg daily due to Withdrawal Symptoms kicking my ass. My biggest concerns are with seizures, blood pressure, psychosis, and blood glucose since I am a Type 1 Diabetic. I also take Singular, Famotidine, and Zyrtec for chronic hives. Im asking for help because I don’t want to go to a doctor so that they could admit me to a shitty Psych ward or put me on a blacklist for Controlled substances. I need help, what should I do?
