cold turkey off zanax

[needansers]

I went cold turkey off xanax for 20 days now I was taking 2 .5mgs a day and then .5mgs for 5 months and then went cold turkey some symtoms went away but others are still here the rapid heart beat and the worry that is my heart even with the EKG saying that my heart is ok do the symptoms go away??

I t seems that you tapered off it quite successfully.. did your doctor help you with the tapering? were you prescribed xanax for anxiety, stress etc? we need a bit more background to better advise you. My DOC was also xanax and I am now clean. Occasionaly my heart does the same thing as yours and when it does I try to keep myself relaxed until it subsides.. the thing is I was on xanax for a few years and I have been clean for almost 3 weeks and so with me I think it is my body adjusting... have you seen a doctor for it? keep us posted and good luck

Maybe you should take xanex?  Was it perscribed to you?  Do you have anxiety?  I used to be perscibed Xanex for anxiety because my heart would race....Its not bad if your perscribed it and you arent abusing it, ya know?  I dont know your story though, and Im not the best person to get advice from, because I cant quit taking other pills right now.  Someone will be on here soon to help you out more.  Good luck.
