Two days ago I decided to stop taking my xanax prescription cold turkey (2mg ER). Half of the reason is because I moved to a new state and I don't feel like dealing with finding a new doctor, and the other half is I'm scared I will take this for the rest of my life but maybe I won't actually need it.

For the past two days my anxiety level has not changed, just some racing heart and hand tremors, which I expected. I read about withdrawal symptoms online that mentioned that seizures are a huge risk, but I brushed those off. Now tonight I started having muscle spasms in my legs and my eye. I am a little paranoid right now because I spent the day reading articles about mysterious medical illnesses but I got really scared and took my xanax even though it's the middle of the night and i'm not sure I should take it again in the morning or not.
