Hello. I hope that you still come on here. I’m wondering how you did tapering off of the Xanax? I have a similar issue that popped up when I started to taper from Clonazepam and I’m wondering if it could be related. I have several what I think are lipomas all over my glutes and thighs and sometimes they hurt. Especially the ones in my glutes. They push up against my nerves. This started to happen when I started to taper. Have you finished your Xanax taper? If so, have you noticed any change in the lipomas? I have a biopsy later this month and I’ve been worried that I have the Dercum’s disease but when I noticed that you were tapering off Xanax, it struck a cord. This all started a few months after I started my taper. I know benzodiazepine tapers can be extremely hard on the body and mind. Thanks!
@flow65 Please try to relax. Think of the wind blowing through the trees and a gentle wind chime. Let your mind concentrate on the breeze and gentle sounds, if your mind wanders to anxiety ares of your brain, just pull it back and concentrate on the gentle sounds again. You are a strong woman and you can do it.
Have you ever discussed this anxiety with you primary care doctor? Are you receiving any help?
