I have been on 0.25 Xanax for a long period of time. I began with anxiety attacks, heavy stress caring for elderly parents, one with Alzheimers 16 years. I use Xanax carefully, on a when needed basis. I am told repeatedly, taken as I do, is beneficial, and will not become abusive. So far, so good. Now I have atril fibrillation, no connection to Xanax, on Rythmol for control of heart rythum, and coumadin to prevent clotting. I am overly anxious taking coumadin, and need Xanax sometimes on a daily basis now for anxiety. I have been advised to take it 2 or 3 times daily, which I refuse to do, and find 1 possibly 2 occasionally helps. This medical advice is given by 3 very reputable physcians and cardiologists. Sometimes the risks of medications are necessary and more beneficial than risk of the illness. needed

I was taking 0.25 xanax 3-4 times a day and a tired to fill my perscription 4 days early and the pharmicist wouldn\'t do it. So i agreed that if i did get withdrawl symptoms i would go see my doctor, but if not i would wait the 4 days to fill my perscription. After 2 days i was expectiong the worse but nothing happened, except a little troble falling asleep. You should be fine comming off if your only taking one a day but if your really concerned break the pill in half and take that for a week than break it into a quarter for another week.

i been on Xanax for 16 years troble sleep 2 mg i need halp

xanax is a nighmare when you start expewriancing withdrawal,feels awful

ha! well at least it worked for you. i was drove home from work today by my manager because its causing me to be ill..passing out

withdrawl symptoms of a benzodiazapine(xanax, valium,etc...) include the delirium tremens, and also include death. If you try to stop use abruptly after prolonged exposure to the drug you run the risk of serious mental, and physical problems. It is always best to talk to a physician first before stopping any drug use. Since alot of drug withdrawl can cause death
