Trying to help a friend get off Xanax. I’ve never tried any pills so I have I idea where to start.
Feedback: I really appreciate the feedback. I did not know how crazy that stuff is. I will try my best on my side to help him.

It is very important to slowly decrease these medications so you do not have a psychotic episode. Your body becomes physically and mentally dependent on these and cold turkey is too shocking for the body/mind. This is something you can do yourself but my biggest concern is what is the person going to do to fill the need that Xanax provided. Many things like Bible reading/prayer, exercise, SAD lights, vitamins (high B complex especially), Bach Flower remedies/homeopathics, essential oils and herbs should be considered going forward to maintain equilibrium. Sometimes it takes a lot to keep the body/mind running smoothly. I am not a doctor and only make these suggestions from experience of family. Always carefully study and research on your own. There are doctors that help people tritrate off medications. Good luck...
