> > > Anyone ever take xanax for an extended period and try to detox and have problems or success. I have had problems only to be put back on xanax after trying other drugs for symptoms I had not had before taking xanax.....anyone with anything similar.....or has anyone heard of anything similar.....

> Were you even able to stop the Xanax utilizing the Klonopin regimen? If so, how long did it take? How long and how much Xanax had you been taking?I've shifted to valium and detoxed very, very slowly lowering dosage by minute amounts and had no touble at all. Are you surre the new symptoms were due to going off the xanax? Not a rising tide of depression, say, or whatever? Well, good luck. Take all the time you need as long as you are moving in the right direction overall.
