My question is - Am I experiencing Xanax withdrawal if I were to abuse only ~16mg within four or five days? I have only messed with the stuff very few times in my life, [because,]however I am a depression/anxiety patient and the feelings I have today are very familiar. It is now the third or fourth day without the drug, and although I only tampered with it for such a short period of time, I am wondering if its possible for me to have a physical dependence already.
I have not slept for two nights and I can not eat either. The panic attacks and chest pains are extraordinaire, I can not even attempt sleep. I am all too familiar with the heart-attack fear of the panic attack, so I am relatively content, just uncomfortable. I have developed great coping skills over years of therapy and I have been on paxil for nearly 6 years. That's not to say that I can not relapse on depressive feelings and anxiety, but I believe this would be too coincidental. I have not altered my paxil dosage but what I am feeling is very similar to paxil withdrawals. I'm sorry if I'm not making much sense, the sleep deprivation is killing me.
Some final information I'll supply... I understand fully that addiction/dependence of this drug is subjective, relative, not exactly predictable. I am a 22 y/o male near 200 pounds and a moderate drinker, however I do ruled out alcohol withdrawals. Paxil, No other drug use.
