Xanax...??????

[Changing4better]

I was prescribed Xanax a little over a month ago to help with the panic attacks from going off tramadol. I was prescribed to take 1-2 .5mg pills up to 3 times a day as needed for anxiety. I NEVER took them that much or during the day at all for that matter. But for the last week and a half I have been taking 1mg at bedtime to help me get to sleep. Will I have horrible withdrawals if I just stop taking it at night? Today I was prescribed ambien and was afraid to take it not knowing if I should wean off the Xanax first. Anyone know if it will be fine to just stop the Xanax all together and start the ambien? Any advice?

Read up on these drugs. Google them and learn everything you can about them. Know what you're getting into.

The best advice we can give you is to talk with your doctor.  They know your medical history and all.

Hi..I see no one got to you yet..Well first I would say talk to the DR..But from my experience you have only taken them for a month and not to much..You have the Ambien that will help..maybe just take the Xanax as needed to cut back and give it up soon..Both meds are addicting so please be careful. Good Job on giving up the Trams..I know those w/ds can be just as bad as my Methadone with my 2 other meds..Good Job!!
