> If you are withdrawing from xanax, be advised tinnitus is a well known and documented withdrawal symptom. I'll bet you that if you step down the dose and wait 14 days it will completely go away. Or step up the dose for two days and it will go away.

> ScottScott,
I'm curious what your situation was when you say that xanax saved your life at one point, but today, for you, it's not a good drug to take long term.
I've used xanax for almost 8 years and every time I've tried to quit it's been pure hell. Now I feel stuck with it. There was a time when it did help me; now it's a hindrance and I feel it contributes to more depression than I would normally have. Additionally, I think I'm now prone to seizures from trying to withdraw. These meds (benzos) are life savers and life crushers.
