Going to a trip last year while tapering - already around -3,5 mg Xanax tapered then - I went on a trip here in Europe. Early spring. The stress of the trip caused "sinus issues", these persist to this day. Then I took a medication called levofloxacin, a flouroquinolone , this caused acute withdrawal. I soon crashed after that. 

I am surprised how I was able to do this trip. I was massively agoraphobic, generally very sick, but I just kept going. 

It is very likely a withdrawal symptom, I read it here quite often. Any weird emotion /feeling you experience in the near future, is most likely a withdrawal symptom... Actually I feel like, as one withdrawal coach said, as if I am only a bunch of symptoms and I believe I will forever be only symptoms... 

RR - I too was prescribed fluoroquinolone for sinus issue and I thought I was going to die for 2 weeks.  I wonder if that has also caused a slow recovery.  This was back in September when i realized I was dependent.  I kept taking more X and it just wasn’t helping.  drs prescribed more.  Only I figured out the problem and started taper in October.  Waiting for  something good to happen it’s been a long road for me.  And many others I know. 🙏
