Its now day 4 since i stopped taking xanax. I’ve done this cold turkey (which i know is not ideal).
I took prescribed xanax for 2 months (once per day @ 0.5mg) topped up by non presecribed xanax to sleep (1.5 - 2 per day) for 2 months.
I feel sick, vision is blurred, so tired and look terrible. Heart is beating really fast.
Im on day 4 of detox. How long will i feel like this?

Cold turkey off Xanax is more than 'not ideal' - it can be dangerous and you could end up in the ER with seizures even if you have omnly been taking it for 4 months. These drugs are not to be taken lightly because they alter your brain chemistry. If it were me, i would go back on to your dose, stabilize and taper the Xanax more gradually.

How are you feeling now? I've beencold turkey off zop for 36 hours now and feel like crap. Feelings of unreality, shakiness and sweating on my hands and feet. I was only on it for 3 weeks 7.5mg....I feel like hell. Never knew this could happen. Hope you're better.
