    Be careful... it can be dangerous to just go off stuff like that cold turkey. If you have a doctor, you may want to go see him or her.

    Hope you are okay!

    I've been there, sweetie. Not with pills, but I promise, I know where you're coming from. Bella's right, if you've got a doc, you need to work with him/her to make sure you stop taking it properly. Do not stop using Xanax suddenly without first talking to your doctor. You may need to use less and less before you stop the medication completely. Take care of your health, and be careful!

    Thanks hun! I think I will be alright it has been a couple months so not too long that I have been taking it! I think people who take it for years have it pretty bad! but my friend who has been on it for a long time just quit and just had the shakes and shit for a couple days! I think it will be better to cold turkey it then replace it! I wanna get healthy again and back to the regular me! I feel determined and motivated!

    Thanks you for listening ; )

    Call your doctor, and tell him/her how much you have been taking and let them tell you how to do this safely.

    Yeah, just stopping a benzo like that can make you have seizures. How much have you been taking? I totally agree with Samba about calling a doctor about this. Be careful honey.

    Thank you for sharing. There have been some skeptics around the boards these last few months about the reality of addictions, especially to benzos. This addiction is VERY real, and the withdrawal can be a nightmare. I saw people go into seizures and break arms/bust chins open, etc....

    Talk to a doctor, or even someone in urgent care if no insurance. Best of luck!

    Yikes! Never go off a prescription medication without discussing it with a doctor, ESPECIALLY something like Xanax. They aren't sugar pills, you know. Your body has come to depend on them and will likely freak if it suddenly doesn't have those chemicals.

    Agree with everyone else about tapering off and I wish you tons and tons of good luck.

    Congratulations on having the strength to stop.

    BE CAREFUL!!!! The last thing you want is a seizure! Trust me, I had one from being on SSRI's. And since then I've had to go through all these tests (EEG's, MRI's, Nerve Tests, etc.), the EEG was this thing that they glued these electrodes to my head and wore it for 2 days. Let me tell you not only was that hell wearing it because it was soooo uncomfortable but when they took the electrodes off my they had to use nail polish remover to get those off and washing that glue off was the worst! I had to wash my hair 8 times to get it out and I lost a huge handful of hair! And I've been on 2 different seizure meds, one made my hair fall out (Lamicatal) and this other one called Carbitrol actually started building up toxic levels of med in my system that I had to go off it. I'm not on anything right now, I have to go back to the doctor. I'm technically not even supposed to drive! If you have a seizure, by law you're not supposed to drive until you've been seizure free for 6 months!

    It's been a huge inconvenience to me and I was lucky that I had the seizure when I was around people and not while I was driving! Going off meds like that isn't something to fool with!

    SO TRUE. Seizures suck and they screw you up for days after you have them (tiredness, nausea, coodination issues). The meds I take for my seizures make me really sick if I don't take them *exactly* like I'm supposed to.

    Better to go to a doc to avoid any chance you may have of having a seizure.

    *hug* good luck with it, and like others said, be very careful stopping them so quickly.

    i never understood how girls can work on xanax, i take it but it bombs me the fuck out, a half a xanax puts me to sleep almost immediately for like 10 hours.

    Stopping this drug suddenly can cause seizures, very serious seizures. I know people who have had them. Depends on the doses and duration you used the drug, but that’s a very possible effect of going off cold turkey. Best to taper the drug down over time and work with a doc if at all possible.
