Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries
I can understand your concern. Xanax is a benzodiapine drug and is commonly used in sedation, anxiety and a number of other psychiatric condition. Abrupt stoppage of use after regular prolonged intake is known to result in withdrawal symptoms. So doses are reduced gradually to prevent withdrawal.
So in my opinion you should keep the drug in reserve to prevent any anxiety you develop. Take the drug on PRN basis to prevent withdrawal. Continue to take Latuda and Clozapine as per your prescription.
Thanks, I hope this helps you. Please dont hesitate to ask again for more doubts.

Do u think the dose was to much to begin with so take half the dose prn? Is the slurred speeches and clumsiness normal on to much Xanax?
Brief Answer:
Starting doses were high in my opinion.
Detailed Answer:
Hello again and thanks for asking a follow up question
In my opinion dose of Clonazepam 2 mg per day is not a low dose and in a person who has never taken benzodiazepines before the dose was high dose. You have taken the drug for one month and to prevent withdrawal symptoms they have advised you to take the half dose on PRN basis for some time. High dose to begin with is the one reason for advise that you should take drug on PRN basis.
Slurred speech, dizziness, clumsiness and hangover like symptoms etc can occur with Xanax in high doses.
Thanks, hope this helps you. Still have more doubts please ask again.
