I am actually battling a xanax addiction. I started taking them for panic attacks, alongside my anti-depressant (Effexor). I am trying to get off the xanax as I realise I've become dependent on them and have gone from one 0.25mg to between four and ten every day. I also mix with alcohol. I know - deathwish or what.
Please seek your doctor's advice on how to taper off the xanax safely. In fact, find a psychopharmocologist rather than your regular doctor. Xanax is extremely dangerous if you do cold turkey. I can't go 8 hrs without withdrawing...tremors, headache, nausea...
I have been on xanax for 15 years. I have taken 1 mg at night, sometimes 2 mg. My psychiatrist wants me to get off it since I am on other drugs. Slowly is how to do it. A while back I did get off of it myself. I just cut down the amount each week; however, it took me three nights of sleeplessness to get it out of my system. In all, it wasn't that bad. Just don't stop cold turkey.
Good luck and let meknow how you are .
Love Venora
