yes very much so. Take that now. Stopping Xanax cold turkey is rough and can have serious consequences if not done properly or under constant supervision. In no way am I saying to not quit, proud of you its tough, keep powering through. I was lucky to be in a rehab and they did give me ativan for that purpose. They always had eyes on me, even more so than heroin addicts and meth users, which suprised me. Never let me go outside alone or leave the detox house for a couple weeks. I was on between 4 and 8 bars a day though, along with being a huge alcoholic wasn't a good combo, since both cause seizures after stopping abruptly. Not to mention the constant blackouts. Long story short take it for a couple weeks after stopping the bars. It will help with the symptoms of the withdrawal, as well as ease your mind of the seizure possibility. 3mg a day, probly won't cause seizures, but it doesnt hurt. Dizziness and confusions gonna last a short while. I experienced that, as well as short term memory loss, trouble concentrating on things for a long period of time, anxiety, hard time sleeping, very weak for a while, and a slight loss in appetite. How long were you on 3mg a day? Youl feel back to normal anywhere from a couple weeks to a few months. Keep us updated and take the ativan.
