Hi there,

Did you quit both at the same time?

What strength and what was your daily count on each?

Love,

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

how long and how many xanax have you been taking?

xanax w/d can be very dangerous

Good Luck

Hello,

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

LadySundown,

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.

Todd


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

how long is the worse of these xanax withdrawals after 30 days of binging.  I have not been on htem for years nor do I need them.   I was so stupid, I started abusing them and eating them like candy for the past 30 days,  About 10 mg a day.  How long should I expect to withdraw?
