< I have even heard one can die from xanex withdrawls..is this true? >
I went through the same thing with valium this summer and that was the question that scared me most. As I understand it, if you're taking a lot for a long period of time and you stop taking it abruptly you can have a seizure. It's a worst case scenario.
I had the pdoc that gave me the script for 9 years work with me to detox me and I traded in my valiums for depakote and topamax.
It was hard and I have 7 valium left that I keep for really stressful times. I'm still working with my pdoc to tweak my new meds but these new meds are not controlled substances so I don't have to worry so much about running out.
Good luck to you.
Love,
Karen
