> Chemist, I was hoping you, or the other knowledgeable people, would point out that just skipping one day is not going to cause withdrawal symptoms immediately. At that dosage, enough is left in the system to hold for a while.

>I see what you mean, but still disagree. Not only have I missed a few days and STILL not had any w/drawal AT ALL, Xanax within around 55 hrs is completely out of the system....people have purpoted that missing a single dose, even WHEN a large quantity of Xanax molecules are in the bloodstream, can cause a huge w/drawal.
Maybe in some, but in others there is no withdrawal, period. And after reading many (i mean literally houndreds of anecdotes) on the subject, the majority of people have NO problem stopping Xanax, even if it necissitates a slow tapering period.
Others go off it cold turkey, with no problems.
Cheers for your reply, obviously we all have different opinions, which is great!
