a week of xanax use can cause very mild withdrawal, but not enough to cause any severe symptoms, DONT try and taper, it will just prolong it, juts ride it out, you are in no danger and will be fine in a few days.
Just think if thats mild benzo withdrawal, what full on months/years of taking it causes when you stop!
Trust me, you are in no danger, and trying to taper after just a week of use is stupid and will just give you more symptoms. Thats if it even is the xanax causing it.
good luck
Thank-you. Yes, I am definitely feeling better today. And you are absolutely right, I cannot even imagine, it makes me sick to my stomach, to think what these would be like if they were worse. Already I'm having trouble recalling how bad the worst moments were.
My emotions are still a little fucked up, I feel like crying right now because I feel like this is almost over. I know for a fact it was Xanax, though. I've never really had anxiety problems ever before, and then right when I got done taking the bars it starts up, bad.
My symptoms: Racing heart beat, high blood pressure, weird feelings in skin (sometimes it felt like there was a balloon in my head/throat that was being inflated, it was weird but very unpleasant), sweating, feeling like I was going to die, feeling dizzy like I was about to pass out, insomnia, irritable, mood swings, feeling like nothing is real, loss of appetite, nausea, tight muscles (especially in my chest, neck, and shoulders, this was horrible at night), "electric zaps", tingling in body, shakiness, couldn't get my dick hard, memory and concentration were shit, oh and a fucking bad headache
^That is how I know it was the Xanax. That was way, way too fucked up and horrible for it to be anything else. And I'm not even out of it yet, but the way I've felt today, I think I could deal with it for a month or two and I'd be alright.
I am going to enjoy life so much when this is over.
