Could Seizure And Anxiety Attacks Be The Withdrawal Symptoms Of Xanax?
I quit xanax cold turkey 18 days ago i had a seizure on day 4 of the withdraw . today is day 18 i havent been able to sleep and have had major anxiety so i took 1mg of my xanax will that make me sick or restart my withdraw or cause me to have another seizure i am worried .
Yes your doubt is true, seizures and anxiety are symptoms during xanax withdrawal. You didn't mention the duration of xanax medication. These symptoms appear on sudden withdrawal after prolonged intake.
You should have tapered xanax intake gradually over 2 to 3 months to avoid these withdrawal symptoms. I would advise you to kindly consult your doctor again and take his/her help in xanax withdrawal.
I wish you a faster recovery and healthy living.
