Hello Enrique, I was administered Xanax, following a horrible divorce. That was 24 years ago. Xanax became my friend, and I loved it. That was until my body hit tolerance. It began to cause me anxiety, instead of relieving it. In 2019 a new psychiatrist prescribed Klonopin (.50 2 X per day.) Klonopin worked very well, but I felt that I needed to get off of all benzos. I first started cutting the pill in half and after a month, I started water titration of the remaining half. The titration took 8 months. I have been benzo free for over 2.5 years now. I am still healing from the withdrawals but that is getting better as the days go by. I feel that I am experiencing PAWS and I am not surprised, due the many years that I was on the benzo. Dr. Heather Ashton's Manuel is the best route to take at getting off of benzos. I also joined Benzobuddies.org. I wish you the very best on your journey.

The fact that you’re experiencing PAWS could be that you tapered too quickly.
