> Hi,
> I stopped Xanax once for a couple of months with no problems. I never took more than .5 a day. You take a lot less. You made need to stay on your normal dose and then go down to half of that dose for one day and go back to your normal dose. I've seen reports where it takes some people a couple of months to get off Xanax, so don't push yourself. Most symptoms could be the withdrawl; we are all different and this is how your body is reacting. I would also drink a lot of water. Good luck, and please take your time.
> JoyJoy,
Thanks. I definitely plan to take a weaning approach. I thought I was emotionally addicted to the xanax but found quickly it was a physical addiction. Some of the symptoms really surprised me though. I figured with my low dosage I could just stop. Not the case. But I learned my lesson :)
