.05 Xanax Withdrawl Symptoms or Side Effects. ?
Question by Brittany: .05 Xanax withdrawl symptoms or side effects. ?
i got my perscription from a doctor at the ER after i was admitted for a anxiety attack, since then my anxiety hasnt been bad since ive been going to therapy but i take a xanax whenever i feel very stressed. this past week ive take three. one on monday, friday and saturday evening. i never take 2 or three a day because i dont want to get addicted and i heard that once you get addicted, its hard to stop taking them and you can develope serious health problems. so, since my second dose this week, it started with bad headaches which finally went away, muscle twitching, swollen neck glands and a tightnesss in the middle of my chest, i thought i ccould possibly have pulmonary edema or somee horrendous lung problem but the doctor had said it was musculo skeletal, i also got a urine test which came back normal. the third time i took xanax it was during the evening, i decided to take one because of my constant worry about having a disease or cancer after (thinking i got) dysphagia since when i had eaten it would feel like the food was going down very very slowly and i kept chokng on specs of food. it took me a while to get to sleep after taking the pill, i kept waking up.. i read somewhere that drinking caffiene can make xanax less effective….and i was consuming alot of ginger ale that day. anyway, the next morning ( today) my eyes were very red and alot of veins were popping out from behind my eyeball, blue bulging veins were coming out of my hands and wrists, my wrists were crackling when i moved them and hurted, my ear felt like it was crackling my mouth was dry, a few hours later the eyes went back to normal, the tight chest feeling could be anxiety related because i only feel it when im worrying and when im busy doing something i dont ( like now lol ), the veins are still there and i have a increased appetite. im on the lowest dosage of xanax and have only taken it four times (including the time in the ER)…i really dont want to take it anymore since i feel theses new problems are realated to it but sometimes i do need a little “help” in the anti-anxiety pill department.
