I dont really know alot about xanax addiction, but I started using "occasionally" about a month ago-one or 2 mgs/night to take the edge off.  I have noticed that the nights I use xanax, I wake up with a pounding headache. I credit it to the xanax use, because I rarely get headaches. Not much help, I know. All I am trying to say is that x's gives me a headache the next day.
I have a friend that weened herself down from 6mgs/day to 1mg/day and she said that she had pretty bad headaches for awhile until she leveled herself out. she is prescribed 2 mgs/day, i think. whatever she was prescribed, she was taking too much and would run out within a 2 week period and then be w/o for 2 weeks. headaches would set in. so she assumed it was the wd's.
hope this helps, stick around and someone will answer with more info on this type of med.
