In reply to xanax withdrawal, posted by baseball55 on January 22, 2013, at 20:10:13
yea now im thinking about that....if you only take it at night....that shouldnt really have a major effect...ripple effect on sleep....mmm let me think...xanax usally is a fast benzo and it lasts maybe 2-4 hours depending on that person's metabolism....and usally it get right out of the system....if you where taking valium that's a diffrent story...
im thinking the only thing really to make it go away is GABA increasing medications...depakote, all those mood stablizers that work on gaba. Nuerontin im telling you would be PERFECT for withdrawls even though its not directly documented to be used for that. 800mg tablet...would swwooop agitation.
well just stay on the xanax....if it works for you every night, do it...its good and best if it does work well for sleep. Maybe you can ask your doctor about Ativan during the day...klonopin ugh...makes me stupid, i can't right on klonopin at higher doses...
well hang in there....also you should check out Temazepam..for sleep...it may be even better than xanax.
