Can't they just taper them long term. I mean it's a different med altogether but I've been on high does long term steroids and they are getting ready to switch me to infusions instead and the doc has been telling me it'll take about 12 to 14 months to get off the steroids because they have to go really slow with it. So with the xannies is it just they fuck your brain up so bad even doing it slow is dangerous or is it that most addicts just find themselves going from 50 xannies a day to none and their bodies drop?
