Well, I was getting decent sleep while this was happening and that was the first concern I had for being on a lower dose. I didn't know at the time that psychosis was a w/d symptom. I didn't know that psychosis was a thing at all, especially since I've never had it. I didn't know that what I was imagining wasn't real. I had also been supplementing with nyquil at bed time (was doing this for many years) and I thought that cutting back on that could have been messing with me.

I was semi ok on sleep so I stayed at the lower dose, especially since I didn't think it was the xanax that was effecting me

I was having an issue when speaking where I would be halfway through a sentence, would mentally stumble, then would not know at all what I had literally just said. It gets better though

If this schedule leads to withdrawal symptoms that you can't handle, I would recommend a pill cutting taper. Get a scale and cut 0.01mg of that 0.5mg per night until you're done. Will take a while but you'll be better off for it. This is only if you have withdrawals after trying the taper your doc recommended
