Hi lilsoljab1, welcome to BenzoBuddies

 

Even though .25 is a comparatively low dose of Xanax, Xanax is a higher potency compared to others of the same amount. While some may not have too much of a problem stopping that amount, others might have severe symptoms. How are you feeling? Can you find a doctor or maybe go to the nearest clinic to help you?

I'm not sure of your situation but some people are more prone to seizures than others. I can't really tell you if you would seize or not, we are all so chemically different. I would still be cautious and contact a medical professional, maybe a medical hotline or nurse line can help you?

How do you feel?  Are you having withdrawal side effects?

YES I CANT SLEEP MY HEART STOPED RACING AFTER THE 3RD DAY AND I CANT SLEEP AT NIGHT THATS ALL I REALLY CANT TAKE IS THE SLEEEPING PART

[[Ch...]]

I think that's the most common side effect.  If your heart was racing and stopped, then you're making progress.  Try chamomile tea, double bag it in a small amount of water before bed.  Try taking a long warm bath before bed.  Some people have suggested Tylenol PM.  DON'T TAKE ANOTHER BENZO TO SLEEP~~IT WILL NOT LAST and will precipitate another round of withdrawals.

IMA TRY IT TONITE WHERE CAN I GET IT DO WALMART HAVE IT

 

[[Ch...]]

Walmart will definitely have the Tylenol PM but not sure about chamomile tea, though grocery stores will have it.  I hope it works for you!

I got it .. If sympthoms don't stop by day 7 should I go to a out patient rehab 8)✌✌👍

[[Ch...]]

Your only side effect is insomnia?  If so, I'm in no way an expert but it seems from the posts I've read here and by my own experience that you're doing GREAT and wouldn't have any need for rehab.  Insomnia is something we all are dealing with...it's hard to not sleep, I know.  When I went off X for three days, by the third night it was like my bed wanted to throw me out of it when I tried to lay down...very weird feeling.  So now I'm tapering slower, still with insomnia and minor other side effects.  By minor, I mean I can live with them.  Hang tough...we're all on this journey to wellness!
