Tapering off Xanax

Tapering off Xanax When I first discovered this drug it was a miracle cure. I was washed in relief from anxiety and barely stuttered if at all and even if I did I didn’t care. It lasted a few days with only taking 1 and then eventually I needed two. Seven years later and I’ve been on it with diminishing success, it didn’t stop my stuttering blocks even if it did help me relax.but now I realize it’s become an addiction and im tapering off. My Psychatrist just mindlessly renews it every month. The withdrawal is terrible but I think im doing the right thing. What do you people think of Xanax?
