I'm down to .5 mg of xanax. In the beginning I had tremendous physical pain that lasted several days than subsided to general body pain along with dizziness, headaches, nausea, jitters,Than I stepped down another .5 mgs. With that I have moderate physical pain and a lot of cramping, diarrhea, nausea, headaches, dizziness, confusion, loss of concentration, jitters, and just today feelings of panic. I will try to work with the feelings of panic. In the past I didn't know it was panic, I just thought I was losing my mind. So this time I will try to work through it. I have a psychiatrist but he is 100 miles away and I can't drive that far. So I won't see him for quite some time. I have a t however and that makes better.
