What you're probably having is Xanax wd.  Zoloft didn't do that to me at all!  I'm not saying that you wouldn't have rebound depression, but it wouldn't cause the restlessness and stuff.  You must, must, must taper Xanax!  You could have a seizure or worse!  It's very dangerous.  Please go talk to a doc if you are out of meds.  They can switch you to a longer acting benzo and taper you down!

I am about to start taking Zoloft, so I will stay close to this thread and see what others say about coming off it and any possible w/d;s, but as far as the xanax, you cant just stop taking Benzos c/t! These have to be done on a very slow taper over time. Abruptly stopping these meds, especially depending on how much you take and for how long, can cause seizures and can be dangerous. Please talk to your Dr!!

Hello and welcome. Could you give us a little more inf? How long h ave you been on them and at what dose? Did you gt a taper schedule from your doctor? You can't stop Xanax cold turkey  it is dangerous.
