xanax withdraw

So you have been without your Xanax for several days?

Are you taking something else in place of Xanax for anxiety? Or are you completely off of these types of meds entirely?

If it's been over a week, and you're feeling fine, you are well on your way! Most often, withdrawal symptoms occur when people are on relatively high dosages and either wean too quickly or stop cold turkey, and the withdrawal symptoms will start up within the first 72 hours.

Importantly,-- how are you feeling? Physically as well as mentally, of course! :)

Did you stop cold turkey, or did you and your doctor make the choice to wean you off?

You describe some symptoms of withdrawal, but perhaps I'm confused,....you've been well over a week without taking any Xanax?

Were you prescribed a different medication?

Did you discuss this with your prescribing doctor?

Xanax needs to be weened off slowly--muscle cramps are a big side effect if not done and there could be others----make sure your doctor knows how you are stopping. I wish you the best

Great job Eddie!

I know that this is rough...but you are doing the right thing. It sounds as if your usage got away from what was beneficial for you...if you were taking extra and running out.

This can happen, but you have made a wise decision to get off of this Rx so that you do not have any more issues.

It sounds like you are having the expected side effects...and since you are doing a medical detox, you will be fine.:)

Wishing you the best through the rest of this process. Again, well done, and keep up the good work!

Post anytime you need support!
