Hi guys. I apologize for my first post here being a question. I just don't know where else to turn for the best information about this. I'll try and make this short and to the point.
I've been addicted to Xanax for the past 4-5 years. Maybe longer.
I had it prescribed for anxiety a while back and the tolerance just increased from there. It got to the point where I was taking 6mg three times a day. No, that's not a typo. 18mg a day.
Anyways, I've been trying to stop taking them all year. I stopped cold turkey and ended up having 2 seizures in a month. They would always prescribe me 0.5mg-1mg after leaving the hospital so I can ease off of it. But that would never work. I would end up taking them all in a couple of days. I've gotten myself down to 1mg a day. But I'm still scared of having another seizure.
I started smoking this year as well to help me out with the withdrawals. Don't get me wrong, I love weed. But sometimes it just makes me freak out. Right now is the perfect example. I smoked about an hour ago and it just got my palms sweaty and my heart racing. Right now I'm only taking 0.5mg of Xanax every other day. Today is my day off of it. So the paranoia is not helping when it's telling me that I'm gonna have a seizure. I'm sure it's all mental, but it's still terrifying. At first I thought it was the strain, but I've been smoking the same strain for the past 2 weeks.

I know it's a sativa dominant hybrid, but it's never given me anxiety and paranoia like that.
My main question is: Will marijuana prevent the seizures? I really don't want to have another one. It's been a while, but it's still scary. I don't mind dealing with everything else.
