I took 10mg Xanax for 7 days straight and have no more bars or can not access any more for a long while. I am wondering if I will have withdrawals or any symptoms due to this?

Thank you very much for your responses.
 
Doubtful, like Fubar said its probably just gonna fuck up your sleep for a few days. That's pretty much where every minor benzo addiction gets me. But as far as a dangerous withdrawal, that's not really whats in store. But im no doctor, i just wish you the best of luck.

Take care and stay safe
 
Even if I meant 10mg per day for 7 days (70mg total), not 10mg through 7 days. I'll be fine still?

(Was not sure if that was clear by the way I worded my original message.)
 
Tolerance from a long time ago, used to take 5-10mg flunitrazolam 4 times daily.
 
It is a high dose even if you have previous tolerance built up, but i don't think you'd have any withdrawals other than restlessness and inability to sleep properly if it was just over the course of 1 week, but you can never know. Benzos are one thing that i swore to steer clear from after nearly dying from multiple seizures during withdrawal. Be safe with them, they're dangerous little things.
 
Thank you very much, I will update this thread when/if I do feel anything or if all is well.
 
I'm pretty sure you'll be completely fine as a one week binge isn't really a prolonged use (even though it was pretty high amounts), didn't mean to scare you or anything with my experience was just sharing my past that i had after constant use of stupid amounts over a 2 year or so period.
 
my personal experience with benzo, being a long user of them too. if i stop them abruptly after a short period say a week or more, i always get RLS and restlessness over all at night making sleeping not fun.
But maybe you it wont hit you all with anything.

Best of luck
 
Highly doubt it, i had diazepam for 2 months straight at 60mg per day which is over the max dose a day and i had no problems stopping altogether. Well i did go a week on just 10mg then stopped, so i went from 60mg one week down to 10mg down to nothing the following week.

You are absolutely fine. If it was more than 4 weeks then perhaps you would experience mild WD's but not from 1 week.

While your not in too deep you should make it a week without and a week using, you wont expereince WD's ever by doing this otherwise if using daily for weeks you will fall into the benzo hole and its not a nice place for most. It can be very hard to climb out.

I took 2mg - 4mg flor 5 days then stopped 4 days and did 6 mg two days in a row. Now I stopped cold turkey. I have plenty of pills to taper if needed. But do I really need to taper?

You'll be fine, you wont experience any physical withdrawal symptoms and you wont have to taper.

Physical dependence to benzodiazepines generally takes about a month of every day use, no matter what the dosage. Usually then tapering off is recommended.
 
i usually noticed easier agitation and overall stronger reactions to incidents in daily life from short term benzo abuse. any significant stresser work related etc might cause the sweatiest palms possible and a weird fluttering heart but it will pass. very quick too, unlike longer term abuse.

imo your most crucial rule to set is that even if an anxiety attack starts, do not give in and continue your abstinence. this would be turning rec use into "proper therapeutic treatment" for a problem caused by that rec use. and that is how most of our benzo addictions started
