I have been withdrawing from Xanax and it has been hell for me... It is better now thanks to taking nutritional supplements. My doctor, the one that prescribed it for anxiety and sleeping told me to cut my dose in half and only take one pill. When I called her again to prescribe something comparable, she referred me to my nursepractitioner/psych doctor... I am lucky to be able to see her on Jun 1 for they are tightly scheduled at the place I go to for mental health...I am taking B complex MorEPA-Omega 3 fish oil and GABASoothe and they seem to ease the symptoms...Any suggestions? ideas or recomendations? I've done my research and in the last 4-5 weeks I been withdrawing I have experienced at least 70% of all withdrawal symptoms...
Yes,
you can send me a PM if you want to talk, I'd be glad if I can help.

Thanks for the advice although it seems more like preaching. It's been 9 months now. Have you detoxed. Can I talk to you. I am tired of talking to people who prostrate themselves as though they are educated et do not know very much. I appreciate any help. Although to be honest my problems after this withdrawl are not even affiliated to this forem. I still have anxiety (panic attacks) but life is different. I have to handle it and that is very tough. I hope you are good and not going through this. I'd love to hear your opinion if it is not chastising. I already did the other.
Cheers,

I quick tip for benzodiazepine withdrawals. It is recommended to use the cross-tapering technique by slowly switching the benzo you're on to a longer acting benzo like diazepam for the equivalent dose. Diazepam have a long half-life and can make the benzo withdrawal smoother.
Never try to do that on your own, change in your medication, dosage and/or withdrawal schedule must be addressed with a qualified physician.
