Are you tapering off under a doctor's supervision? You can't just stop Xanax cold turkey.

You've been taking it for ten years? Your brain must be fried by now, how do you even manage to recall your old self?

I took .5 every night as a sleep aid. I hope I haven’t caused irreparable damage to my brain!

Congratulations, OP! As you get older, you appreciate the bragging rights of being on the least to no prescription medications! So glad for you and others in your shoes.

Great job! I wish I could wean myself off Ambien at night.

Now, just quite the weed and alcohol and you will be fine.

OP, if you are not weaning off under a doctor’s care please call your doctor today. Withdrawal symptoms often don’t start until day 5 of your last dose.
I seriously had a dear friend who went off Xanax cold turkey and then she died.

Awesome OP. I love people who can find happiness and tranquility without pharmaceuticals. Stay strong.

Or, the sudden withdrawal from the drug has precipitated a manic episode...

Seizures are very likely and no joke. If you aren’t under the care of a doctor you should be. If not please don’t drive for another 25 days. Think of how awful it would be if you had a withdrawal seizure while driving and hurt or killed others.

Be careful, and, yes, call your doctor. If you've been doing/buying it illegally, they won't care. You are still in the danger zone, as it stays in your body for some time.
I also had a friend die during withdrawal. Valium is worse, do not switch to it.

I recently cut down my Ambien from 10 to 5 mg. Still going to sleep the same as before. My doctor says he's going to cut me off soon, so I'm preparing and I'm incredibly worried.
