In reply to Xanax withdrawal: holy ####!!!, posted by Thrud on September 24, 2002, at 17:19:26
Dear Thrud, boy do I hear you, I withdrew off of Xanax 2 yrs ago after being on it for 7 yrs. Was the worse experience of my life, with the exception of Effexor withdrawal which is just as brutal. When I tapered off the Xanax my shrink said the same thing, that I shouldn't have any problems and I was put on a tapering schedule that had me off in 9 days!!! I was on .50 QID and dropped a whole pill every 3 days. I have never been so sick in my whole life. I am now taking Remeron and Clonazepam .50 BID, as the Remeron hasn't helped with the anxiety. I suspect your still going through some residual withdrawal with the Xanax so don't give up on the Rem yet. Best of luck.
