Scared to Stop

So I've been taking .25mg of xanax a day for 3 weeks now and I'm terrified to stop because of the scary withdrawal symptoms like seizures. At that dosage are chances high of getting them ? /:

Are usually the people on high dosage the only ones that get them ?

Thank you for clarifying , that itself was causing me more panic

Just adding more reassurance Rickk,

You will be fine. Your minimal dosage and a short duration of taking them will make your cessation easy and safe.

Consult your doctor about a weaning schedule as you've been advised. He/she may have you start taking your dose only every other day to start...gradually adding days between...

...or if you are wanting to be thoroughly cautious (more so than needs to be, but that's okay if it makes you more comfortable) you can ask for directions on water titration...which is the most gentle and gradual discontinuation method.

You will do fine...keep us posted, so we can keep you in support.
