Did you quit both at the same time?
What strength and what was your daily count on each?

Ok here is the typical w/d's for each med:
( Loratab/Hydro's ) = Usually Mucsle and bone soreness, tightness, feel sick, sometimes cold / flu like sympoms, night sweets, a lot of fustration and reltlessness, foggy head, etc..
( Alprazolam/Xanax ) = Extreme anxeity, shakes, racing mind, panic attacks, feel like you can't think, pacing, can't stay still, and can even go the extermes of seizure's or simular like feelings - very dangerous drug to cold turkey!
Hope this helps..a lot more can add to it likewise!
Love,
Todd
xanax w/d can be very dangerous
Good Luck
Xanax is a benzo and should never be stopped abruptly. If you have taken xanax very long it can cause seizures or even death. I have taken it for a very long time. I take 1mg 4x's a day.
The other is an opiod. While w/d can be quite horrible at times, it's really not as dangerous.
So xanax is an anti-anxiety med and the opiate is for pain.
I wish you luck if you're trying to kick either, and suggest you stop one at a time.
Take Care and have a great day.....LS
Hi how are you this morning? I hope your having a great morning!
I would definiltly agree with your reply to the post! I tried Xanax at 1mg twice a day, and after 2 days, I got off it. I was to much of a pontent and fast power punch behind it! It Also has a real shor 1/2 life. I take Valium, which is more milder but...I could not handle the up and down rollacoater effect it had on me.
I noticed it after taking it for only 2 days!
Does it work well with you? Just curious, because I know that Xanax is a benifit to alot of people.

But as regards to the post and w/d's - Every reply has been accurate regarding Xanax and quitting cold turkey! Very Dangerous!
