Suggestions on how to withdraw from xanax

by abk90, Feb 13, 2008 11:00AM
I took xanax (0.25) 3 times a day for about a week and continued taking one every night for a month while taking Effexor Xr. I stopped taking xanax the day I stopped taking Effexor. I gradually stopped taking Effexor by winning off of it but I didn't with xanax. Is that a problem? In other words, shoud I have taken xanax every other day just like I had with Effexor? Thank you.

You don't say WHEN you stopped taking these meds, but if there is no problem so far then there's probably not going to be one.

If you are doing O.K., don't think you will have a problem.  Seems like you were on it very short term.

Just to make sure I have this right, you took the Effexor and the Xanax for a TOTAL of only one month?
In your post, you don't state that you are experiencing any sort of physical or mental "problems" since quitting either of these drugs. That's great. After such a short time, you shouldn't. So........since you are apparently feeling just fine, why are you concerned now?
I'm just really curious.
Peace
