I sense nothing of that sort, but considering Xanax's short half-life I with poise believe the time for Xanax to do any harm in my life in the form of withdrawal symptom is over.

> What do you think? If you have gone off Xanax, have you ever experienced like me? Were there any new problems emerged after staying off it for a week?I remember years ago I taught school in a high stress environment and needed 30 milligrams of valium a day to survive. Every summer when I went on vacation I was able to stop cold turkey without incident.
I've found in the last year on days when I take neurontin I can stop my klonopin. I don't take neurontin every day because it stops working.
