Here’s how recovery typically happens: 1. Medical Supervision & Tapering • Tapering Off Slowly: Abruptly stopping Xanax can be dangerous due to the risk of seizures. Doctors usually prescribe a gradual dose reduction over weeks or months. • Switching to a Longer-Acting Benzo: Sometimes, doctors transition patients to diazepam (Valium), which has a longer half-life and smoother withdrawal. 2. Managing Withdrawal Symptoms • Common Symptoms: Anxiety, insomnia, tremors, sweating, nausea, panic attacks, and, in severe cases, seizures. • Medications That Help: • Anticonvulsants (e.g., gabapentin) to prevent seizures. • Beta-blockers (e.g., propranolol) for heart palpitations and anxiety. • Melatonin or trazodone for insomnia. 3. Psychological & Emotional Support • Therapy (CBT): Helps address anxiety and dependency. • Support Groups: Groups like BenzoBuddies or 12-step programs help with emotional struggles. • Mindfulness & Stress Reduction: Yoga, meditation, and deep breathing help manage rebound anxiety. 4. Lifestyle Adjustments • Healthy Diet: Nutrient-rich foods help restore brain chemistry. • Exercise: Regular movement can reduce anxiety and improve sleep. • Hydration: Staying hydrated can reduce withdrawal intensity. 5. Professional Treatment Options • Outpatient Detox: For mild to moderate withdrawal. • Inpatient Rehab: If withdrawal symptoms are severe, a monitored detox center may be necessary. How Long Does It Take? • Acute withdrawal: Peaks in 1–2 weeks. • Protracted withdrawal (PAWS): Anxiety, depression, and sleep issues may last for months but improve over time.
