Xanax - Side Effects

Posted by CK1 on January 19, 2007, at 16:15:02

Hey Guys,

I was put on Xanax .25/mg day in February 2006 and it worked very well for 3-4 months and erased all anxiety I had. After a few months, I started having dizzy spells but kept taking it bc my dr. said Xanax doesnt cause dizziness. (to all of you who have experienced dizziness, IT SUCKS, right?!) Well, a month ago the dizziness became worse and I "knew" it was the Xanax so I tried to stop but couldnt and now am on Valium 1.5mg/day trying to get off benzos. I am now getting incredibly dizzy, depressed, and feel my mind is a blur. I am wondering how long the symptoms caused by benzos can last! Some people say up to 6-12 months??! I need some encouragement here as I would hate to have this persistant dizziness for months after stopping the drug.
BTW, I have been functional in my business during this entire time and making great strides however, I feel it is best to now work while getting off as I am very irritable, depressed, and dizzy at the moment!! Whoever has been on benzos and gotten off bc of side effects, please let me know about withdrawel and how long it took for the SE's to go away!!!!

Thanks!!!
