It is really dangerous to skip one or two doses of xanax?
My bottle of Xanax was empty yesterday, today I've had to ask for money to an uncle to buy the medication cause I was short on money, I'm a dad of 3 kids and support my family, I'm also prescribed with hypertension and GERD. What really freaked me out is that I just read that even missing a single dose of Xanax one can have the withdrawal symptoms of it!!!??? I started to take Xanax (Alprazolam) because my Cardiologist prescribed it to me, cause my anxiety was causing me to have high blood pressure and heartbeat levels, with this I started to calm down on my anxiety but never have realized of what people said about how intense the withdrawals are until yesterday when I have to miss a dose. Couldn't believe that a few, only a few hours later I started to feel anxious and accelerated. So I will really appreciate a good explanation about this to any of you, and how real is that the withdrawal can kill you with a seizure, I'm worried about it.
As a prior I have to say that I took Tramadol for more than 4 years in high doses and I have to suffer the consequences when I stopped like withdrawal and else, then I was prescribed with low serotonin levels, so today I'm taking Xanax and Paxil for this and it really cost me to accept that is maybe the only thing that can really help me.
God Bless you all, will really appreciate your sincere contribution to my issue.
Thanks!

Thank you all, I have talked with my doctor and she gave me a couple of prescriptions for the next time and I'll do my best to prevent stay empty once again.

As Xanax is a short acting anti anxiety, stopping suddenly can cause serious side effects.
A doctor did it to me many years ago, to test me ...don't remember exactly what it was, just had a horrible night ...no seizure....massive vomiting and diarrhea...
Get your medicine as soon as you can. If you want to stop, and I don't know why you would, then a very slow weaning process is the way to go. You can expect increased anxiety, but I hope no seizure, if you just miss a couple of doses. Not a doctor.

In the future, it would be wise to procure an adequate supply, as you do not want to find yourself in this scenario again. It is always best to err on the side of caution. As you can see from the above, there is a very short window following discontinuance before potential withdrawal symptoms may emerge. Benzodiazepines as a class are serious drugs and should be treated accordingly. It is very important that you do not run out if used on a frequent basis.
