Thank you so much bleauberry! That was amazingly reassuring to hear. I had called my T and he called me back and missed me and was supposed to try back again, but I think he forgot, so I'm feeling really on my own here since pdoc only works 1 day a week (she might be available if I really needed her, but it's through a counseling center and I didn't ask because I started getting panicky talking on the phone to them).
But it's good to hear that it's probably going to go away, and that even if it is withdrawal from Xanax, that that can be dealt with. I am not one to take medications lightly, and in fact would prefer not to be taking any at all because they scare me in large part, so I'm so so so afraid of having any side effects at all because I get afraid that I'll be stuck with them for life or have to take something else to deal with them.
Thank you very much. Hearing your experience and having those suggestions was really helpful. I'm going to try to fall asleep on my own tonight, but if I can't, maybe trying 0.5mg of Xanax instead of the full 1 mg would work.
