I want to quit xanax but im just scared of the withdrawl symptoms. Even before I started xanax I was very aware of the side effects so I have a very low dose. I take one .5mg xr xanax once a day. This is for panic attacks too so I assume I will have extremely bad attacks after I quit. Any suggestions as to what could help me through the withdrawl?

i was put on xanax for the first time at age 17, 120 2MG pills/month. Kind of ridiculous. I became addicted to a drug and entered rehab. I had seizures even when I was ON xanax, because I wasn't on enough of it. I have taken 30MG of xanax in one day, amounts that would KILL a first time user. There is no reason for xanax or any drug like it to be on a mainstream market. benzos feel nice but they suck. some of you might say it was me. well, it's not. it's science. you can't argue with chemistry.

I also was prescibed xanax for mild anxiety when I was 15. After a year my anxiety had gotten alot worse so they upped the mg. The year after I was still on xanax but couldn't go to school off it without having severe panic attacks. By the next year I was addicted and found myself not leaving the house without taking it.

yes you are right. One CAN die from withdrawals off of most any of the benzo/anxiolytics. SEIZURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am a nurse and have faced the withdrawals myself. No, the MD prescribing did not warn me. I unfortunately had to figure this out on my own. Try waking up in the ER dazed and confused with your tongue bitten off... Always taper off xanax , valium, klonopin etc very slowly.

RIGHT ON, lady!! The only point I disagree on is asking a dr. how to taper off psych drugs. A pharmacist is best qualified to give u advice on how to taper off. Drs. aren't given enough info, except on how to get us all addicted to this junk...

Absolutely. I have done my research, and it is quite common for a doctor to switch you to a different Benzodiazepine such as Klonopin or Valium, and then they will taper you off of that if you are wanting to quit taking Xanax. |
