Can xanax withdrawal be the problem?

Tags: xanax, withdrawal, neuropathy, Neurology

I have been off xanax for almost a month. About a week after I quit, my hand starting tingling & my pinkie & ring finger went numb. My pinching ability has decreased in this hand. Can this be related to the xanax withdrawal? Also, will this improve?

I am not aware of this being a withdrawal sign from Xanax. I would recommend you discuss this with your doctor so that it may be evaluated more formally. Good luck.
