I found out the hard way how difficult it is to get off Xanax. My MD never warned me of this . 3 days with no Xanax sent me to the ER with 300 BP.. horrid headache, nausea. I thought I was dying or having a stroke . ER team did a brain scan to check. People must be made more aware of this. Check with your Pharmacist. I did not have this problem with Prozac...quit easily.

Glad to hear that the valium taper worked for you. You are very fortunate that it did. Enjoy every minute of your benzo free life. God bless !

I have severe bedbound long Covid. Xanax calms my multiple neuro inflammatory symptoms including nasal congestion.

Part of me wants to continue as it is the only thing that allows me relief.

Then I read horror stories of dependence. Not sure whether to continue or quit. Either way life is hellush.
