Benzo withdrawls are bad, but they take quite awhile to develop. I've done xanax for a couple of months without any WD's. Not at anywhere near those doses though. Why not cut down your doses enough to save back something for those three days?
Didnt even think about it until my bottles were empty -____- but good to know i wont be dying.

This is enough to suck. Just being honest. I would go to the er if you feel it get overwhelming. Just my opinion
Yea actually those doses do seem pretty high, and i don't know too much about benzo addiction and withdrawal. But i would say that just 6mg of xanax for a month would cause a few nasty side effects when your done. Probably nothing deadly but some very very uncomfortable twitches, sleeplessness, and such.

It's a moot point. Regardless of what we will tell you, you either will or won't.
So the best advice is to try not to worry about it. Its easy to let anxiety over not taking anxiety medicine turn into withdrawal symptoms. Your head could be your worst enemy. If you start to have withdrawals you can ask what to do, but if you try to not worry about what will happen, you'll probaly be much better off.
Klonopin have a long half life, so I'd assume you'd be good. Just don't let the anxiety over withdrawals turn into withdrawals

Yep Klonopin is awesome in its long elimination half-life so if you can get more in three days that Klon will halve your W/D period. You won't die but you will have some withdrawals especially if you predisposed to anxiety/panic attacks

Ya you SHOULD be fine because a month is on the line of habitual use. I would say you will feel light WD's but nothing you cant handle cold turkey. if your really worried try to taper for a few days... GL
Also you could always claim you have had more panic attacks etc to try to get some more to taper... but the last thing you want is a Benzo addiction. I hear they are the worst medication to WD's from and get off of.

thats a ridiculously high amount of benzos o be taking... since you've only been on them a month you should be allright... but i highl recommend you lower your dosage intake, nobody needs that much benzos... you're using thm to get faded/escape your everyday troubles... benzos aren't the solution, i used to think like that, now i believe in sport, healthy eating and trying to be a good person and its working.. i'm still stuck with a pretty heavy benzo/ meprobamate/bupe addictions, but i'm making it work... i still get F'd up once or twice a week... but not before i done my sport....
sorry for the cliché, i'm just trying to say in a few lines what i've learnt from my experience with various molecules

Actually, I recommend simply using one or two less pills per day, that way your tolerance is lower and you have more pills. It will work... eventually.
Edit: read your post, never mind.
Edit: and btw I'm not expecting anyone to willingly lower their dose benzos can be fairly addictive and even moreish.

i know that when i was on benzos for a moth or so and went without i felt alittle uncomfortable and ancious.
As far as WD the way i would go threw them now that ive been on them for like 15 years then no i would say yer probably gonna feel agitated and abit hyper active and then when ya get yer pills all will be well again soon as you takem and they kick in...

True, it might be a little rough, but not nearly as rough as could be!

^^^^^ pretty much what i meant...
No one wants a fullblown WD from benzos.
As ive said before i didnt even know you could get WD from benzos till it happend to me.
Damned doctors dont tell ya about that shit...

Why would a doctor start you out on 6mg Xanax XR and 4-5 Klonopin the first couple of months? That sounds really excessive, usually doctors start with a low dose before moving you up and generally don't put someone on TWO benzodiazepines for the same thing. I dunno, that just sounds strange.

As for your problem, you may have only been on benzos for a month (or so) but those are really high doses. Its possible you may suffer some moderately mild withdrawals during those 3 days. You should be fine the first day since the Klonopin has a pretty long half-life. Try to keep your mind off the fact that you aren't taking benzodiazepines the next couple of days so you don't begin to panic. The first sign of withdrawals is generally anxiety.

This is a very good question.
OP, you should find a new doctor (although you may not want to
) if the doctor you are seeing now prescribed those doses to start off.Can you clarify if there is more to the story?

Yeah a doctor would have to be extremely irresponsible to start some one out on this dose to an benzo naive individual. I would go as far as to say they would be in huge trouble with the dea if it came to their attention.
