in my second week of detox from xanax. It was pretty bad but not as bad as the first two days. I was going to step down again this monday but I"M still having withdrawal symptoms. I am going to wait to the end of the month and if I feel ok I will step down again. It really sucks but my choice was to take more xanax to relieve my symptoms or get off it. I am still glade I have chosen to get off it. I won't know if I need something to replace it until I am clean of it. I have noticed some coping behavior returning and that might not be good. So I will keep an eye on that.
