What's happening to my body as I detox off Xanax

you should go to the doctor and be honest and tell them you are trying to get off Xanax , you can literally die from withdrawing from this shit on your own

This belong in /r/drugs. But that's really interesting. I knew there physical aspects to withdrawals but fuck.

I'm ok guys. ofc I still have that huge nasty bruise, and some big to minor cuts and scrapes on my right foot. just took an epsom salt bath.

I'm detoxing right now and it is hard. Good luck man. It fucking sucks.


[3 Points] MarfaTexas:

Damn. I'd be interested in knowing what the physiological background behind this is. Keep us updated.

Go to the doctor anything could happen you could have fallen over and damaged your arm, restricted blood flow, some weird withdrawal effect maybe where your muscle could waste away - no one here can tell you for certain just take the risk and go to the doctor.

Xanax is chemically close to alcohol. So benzo and alcohol detox can be very dangerous and are the only 2 withdrawals that can kill you if they are severe enough. Should be done medically. Your doctor is there to help you.

you could have a seizure. go on librium.

Congrats on your decision to detox. Benzos are a nasty drug to have WDs from and as others have said are one of the few that can actually kill you with WDs.


[1 Points] SuckMyFist:

Are you sure you are not going through alcohol withdrawal too?
