Take Bendadryl for sure..Will help with withdrawls and also help you sleep. I take 50mg at bedtime..Takes ME 2 hrs for them to kick in since I also have ADHD so they sometimes wake me up but most people they knock out and help with any narcotic withdrawl..GOOD luck:)

Yes the DR's tell you to take Benadryl for withdrawl of any pill, it takes the edge off and helps you sleep also..2 At bedtime..THEY DO WORK

Can benedrly anti-histamin counter these symptoms?

Or help with sleep?

You should start taking it again. Xanax withdrawl can cause seizures if stopped cold turkey. The wd symptoms that you're experiencing will last for a long time as well. The best way to get off xanax is to taper it slowly. The digestive issues are prob from the withdrawl too. When I went cold turkey from xanax for 3 days I was severly nauseated, had uncontrollable shaking, tremors, insomnia, and uncontrollable muscle spasms. That was in addition to the nonstop anxiety and panic attacks. Start taking it again.

In been on it for 2 and a half months how long is the withdrawl or should I just go back on it? The head pressure is killing me
