xanax withdrawals

I am feeling sick, sicker than Ive ever felt before. I didnt realize until last night that I am withdrawing from xanax. I googled it just to look at symptoms and it went from a non chalant search for symptoms to a realization that I matched ever single one and that is happening to me and it was so bad last night I barely could sleep, i was hot, nauseaus, and had a massive migraine it was awful. Today is the 4th or 5th day clean possibly 5th day clean after doing xanax prescribled for 1 month at 1mg a night for sleep anxiety. How could 1mg a night for only 4 weeks cause me to become addicted? i have never done a drug and gotten addicted to it I never do drugs more than one time in a month like itll be a spontaneous decision to do some kratom one day and not do it again and maybe try some more 2-3 weeks later if that often.

Long story short my question is, how can I get through this cold turkey because I can not get more xanax and I do not want to tell my doctor what is going on even though he prescribed me the drug I just feel guilty for even have trying to get it prescribed in the first place, I didnt need it I just wanted to have a prescription and do it. One month on 1mg is causing me withdrawal symptoms can I take dramamine or benadryl to help me from feeling sick? I read that they lower the seizure threshold but honestly i dont even care if i have a seizure it couldn't feel worse than this nausea. Im a big guy and I eat alot of food, I havent eaten in 2 days (since yesterday) Im too nauseous and i know my diarreah is making my dehydration worse. Im on day 5 clean and will never take this evil drug again. Ive been sick for 2 days since yesterday, no symptoms the first three days. I know someone reading this can help me please dont just read this please help me. Any information will comfort me im too sick to even search things on google anymore it just makes me hot and sick to search things sorry if I sound like a baby can someone tell me when to expect to feel what symptoms next and when it will end in your experience or knowledge. thank you
 
if you are really that sick as you say, you should detox in a hospital.
you gotta take care of your body, detoxing under medical supervision is good.
 
It sounds like there might be something else at work here. I would go see a doctor. A lot of xanax withdrawal symptoms are pretty vague and could be caused by something else. Like you said, its a moderately small dose over a relatively short period of time.
 
Go to your any grocery store and pick up some valerian root, st John's wart, some Advil, pepto bismo, and some diphenhydramine sleep pills to get some better sleep. This is your best option to be fully honest. But what ever you do, keep going and wait it out, you're 5 days in and if you go back the next time will be much harder than this time. Just hang on, you're almost over the w/d just remember you'll be feeling great in a day or two, keep trying to manage and wait it out, cold showers and some food you like, only a little left for ya. Best of luck, just don't take any more Xanax. Cheers
