Xanax Detox: The First Step Towards Recovery

What is Xanax Detox?

Withdrawal refers to the uncomfortable symptoms that may occur when stopping or reducing drug use. Among all benzodiazepines, abusing Xanax bars is likely to cause more severe withdrawal. Xanax withdrawal may occur even with short-term use at recommended doses. Physical symptoms of Xanax withdrawal include aches and pains, vision problems, dizziness, headaches, increased sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, vomiting, tremors, muscle contractions, difficulty breathing, and seizures.
