i thought xanax was mostly used as a PRN agent for acute anxiety.>>> Exactly what it is intended for. If you take it for more tahn 14 days you become physicaly dependant on it. Discontinued use may result in seizures. Tolerance develops very rapidly and within a year you need 3 mg just to feel normal. I tapered off 3 mg years ago and it took months and was hell. You can talk to your doctor. Psych detoxs for benzos are bedlam. There is no way to treat the w/d except time. Some experience protacted withdrawl syndrome for 18 months after slow cessasion. I have too many friends who have become dependent on benzos and they destroyed their lives. Stevie Nicks the singer was addicted to Klonopin for years and has written about the horrible experience. Take PRN with extreme caution.
