Hello! I need some encouragement and support

Hello, 20F, been on Xanax 0.25x1 daily (sometimes twice a day, but less than one time a week) for a little bit more than 2 months. My therapist told me to start to stop taking it, and I’m starting to taper. She advised half a pill (0.125) daily but I’m scared as hell, so instead of half, I am taking… 7/8 of the pill. I might be paranoid, just a little (a lot). Can someone encourage me about this? Do you think this is safe? I’ll take it for a week and then go down to 6/8. I really need some nice words of encouragement, I am in a tricky situation and withdrawal symptoms would make me go insane, so I’m doing as much as I can to avoid them. Do you think this is okay? Can anyone tell me some success stories or similar stuff? I would really need it. Thank you
