hi, lexi. i am surprised that your MD allowed you to go cold turkey off multiple meds simultaneously. i have always had better results when i was gradually weaned off of meds.
firstly, don't do anything drastic while undergoing withdrawal; stay calm and do things slowly. if you drive, you might consider asking for rides, walking or taking public transportation. secondly, avoid all alcohol and be careful with stimulants like caffeine or nicotine or sugar. when your mood stabilizes, return to your normal activities.
also, you might consider changing psych nurses because i believe her drastic changes of your meds is a questionable way of doing things especially when the meds in question are Xanax and Klonopin. granted, i do not know how high your doses of these meds were - the higher the dose the greater the possible complication of going cold turkey.
so, be aware of your moods and do not hesitate to contact an MD if you feel things are going out of control. please keep posting and let us know how you're doing.
