Xanax Withdrawal Slow Taper
Xanax withdrawal symptoms are one of the most painful and difficult to endure. Drug addiction and dependency is becoming the new burden on our society. Xanax is a fast acting and short lived medication classified as a benzodiazepine. Most physicians are quick to prescribe Xanax as a relief to those suffering from anxiety, panic disorder, and sleep disorders.
Xanax withdrawal and physical dependency is different than Xanax addiction as most of the time the patient is not using Xanax to get high. They are using Xanax as prescribed and become victim to a physical dependency in which the body can no longer sustain without the Xanax. Over time Xanax loses its effectiveness, leaving the patient suffering from Xanax withdrawal and tolerance, and in need of a higher dose of the medication.
Xanax Withdrawal Symptoms Increase with Tolerance
Xanax withdrawal symptoms become unbearable due to tolerance. So what is tolerance? Tolerance is when the Xanax or medication is no longer effective in the treatment of the condition it was prescribed for. There are over 80 million people or one in eight people in America alone that are prescribed benzodiazepines. About half of them end up in withdrawal and tolerance with debilitating symptoms ranging from agoraphobia, electrical sensations, insomnia, nausea, seizures, Depression, suicidal ideation, death, and about 100 other benzodiazepine withdrawal symptoms listed in the FAQ section of this website.
There are support groups online, such as benzo buddies and several others that victims of benzodiazepine tolerance and withdrawal end up seeking support in. While these benzo buddy groups are better than having no resource at times they leave a Xanax dependent patient feeling hopeless because of the negative stories and symptoms sharing. At Benzo Boot Camp, a team of specialists working in detox, and who have also gone through this process, have come up with a positive and effective treatment plan to safely de prescribe benzodiazipines including some of the following.
- Xanax
- Ativan
- Klonopin
- Valium
- and other hypnotic and benzodiazepine medications
