I posted this on July 10th--I took 1/4 of a pill later that day then none since. I am now sleeping great without it but my muscles have been a bit achy so since muscle pain is a common withdrawal symptom of xanax/alprazolam, I assume that is where the achiness is coming from. Stopping also caused some panic attacks at first but those are gone. So long as my life continues to be calm--not taking it anymore....
