> Thanks for your support, I am now thinking I might still be having panic attavks, badly, the lexapro should definitly be out of my system by now, or mabye Im having withdrawel from the xanax, I forgot to mention I was taking .05 everday, up to four times a day, I quit the xanax a day or two after I quit Lexapro. I dont know, I can talk ok today, but I feel like I have tio think about what Im saying when Im saying it, Does that make any sense? I also drank a whole bunch on Lex and Xanax, I now know that was a big mistake, I am still drinking heavily. I know now I am an alcoholic as well as being a depressed , panicked person. Im scared to death.

I agree with blkvette, the majority of your side effects are most probably coming from the Xanax. Actually benzos, such as Xanax and alcohol have very similar effects on your body, that's why using one or the other makes you feel better when you are w/drawing. I withdrew from Klonopin and was very hard. Xanax, like Klonopin, has a short half life which means the w/drawals hit you a little harder. Give it 7-10 days. I had to come clean with my doctor about some substance abuse things and when I did, that's when I really got the help I needed. You CAN do this. You need some good support and the will to follow through. Good Luck!
