> Ron, Did you stop cold turkey from 6mg.? I heard that you can have seizures if you do that. I have quit xanax cold turkey but not that high of a dose. The withdrawal symptoms were terrible though. I had extreme anxiety, every little noise seemed to be amplified x 100, flu like symptoms etc. I have quit Effexor cold turkey and survived that.
More than 6, actually. The withdrawal was horrible, but having failed the tapering method on more than 1 try, I was determined to get it over with once and for all. I also had heard of the possibility of siezures, but didn't have any.
