Were you looking for information about
Xanax Withdrawal? Xanax withdrawl is a common misspelling of Xanax withdrawal.
If you suddenly stop taking Xanax
® (
alprazolam), withdrawal symptoms -- such as sensitivity to sound or light, a fever,
anxiety, and
depression -- may occur. Oftentimes,
seizures are the most dangerous withdrawal symptom. You are most likely to develop
seizures if you stop taking this medication "cold turkey."
Because Xanax can cause physical and psychological dependence, you should not stop taking the medication suddenly or without your healthcare provider's approval. To minimize your risk of developing severe symptoms of Xanax withdrawal, your healthcare provider will most likely wean you off the drug slowly to allow time for your body to adjust.
