Trying to fully understand the withdrawals


Recommended Posts

Posted
I was on xanax for about 2 years and was not warn about side effects or withdrawals. So I just would like to talk to others that have went through the withdrawals so I can understand and get more information to get through all this. I didn't taper I went cold turkey so I got most of the worst withdrawal  symptoms. Thank you and hope to be excepted.

Hi Andr86 :hug: Welcome to Benzobuddies

 

Sorry you have experienced a cold turkey, many of us here were not told of the addictive nature of these drugs.  The withdrawal symptoms can be very severe and It can take quite a while for the CNS to recover.  How are you doing now, when was your last dose ?  Withdrawal is tough, symptoms are temporary and will go with time. 

 

I will put a link to the Ashton Manual, it is a definitive resource about these medications and how to withdraw. It also discusses the effects these types of medications have on the body.  Professor Ashtons Manual

 

We do have a dedicated board for those people who have done a cold turkey or rapid withdrawal. 

 

Cold Turkey Detox & Rapid Withdrawal Board

 

Post withdrawal recovery support board

 

Take a look at the Success Stories, it does get better with some time. Success Stories

 

Please feel free to ask questions, members can respond with the best information if they know your medication history so I will ask you to create a signature line listing your medication and dose.  Here are the directions to do that: ”Create a signature”

 

Welcome aboard
