Xanax...

[samyhr]

I have been on Xanax for about over a year and I am pretty sure that I am addicted to it. I talked to my doctor about it and he said that I need to gradually lower the daily dosage. I did exactly what I was told and try to go without it but, usually in the afternoon hours, I start getting restless. I feel dizzy, cannot focus, I am very forgetful and clumsy, I even have a hard time saying what I want to. After I take a pill, these problems disappear.
What should I do to get rid off these feelings? Help!

Thank you

  What you are feeling is totally normal for w/d from Xanax. I am on day 18 C/T and the first 14 days was pure hell! Your body craves this nasty drug and yes the w/d are very hard. It is possible to get through it but, it takes some time. I did a lot of shaking, sweating and basically just very uncomfortable. By about the 13th-14th day I felt better every day. My memory has started to return and I feel like a human again. Try doing things that distract you from the anxiety, (i.e. sleeping, watching tv or movies) and try not to think about it....I know it's hard.

Keep up with your taper and call your Dr about this.
