Have been on 1mg xanax for approx 6 weeks and in that time also consumed 3-5 alcoholic beverages daily - quit drinking 3 weeks ago, I am 58, female, 165# and otherwise no problems healthwise - was totally naive about the combination - now am so anxious about what I have done to myself, am currently addicted to xanax - missed 1 .25 dose the other night and this morning ended up with Parkinson like shakes until I took my next .25 dose -- is this typical withdrawal symptom -- I ended up in emerg last weekend with symptoms similar to that only worse and was given an adivan as they said it was a panic attack -- is this what I can expect when I start to withdraw from xanax
I appreciate your concern and asking on Chat Doctor. I would advise that do not worry Xanax addiction does not result in Parkinson disease. Addiction to Xanax may occur in 6 weeks but not necessary. Evaluation is needed to ascertain if you have become dependent on Xanax. Combining it with alcohol increases the sedation so needs to be careful. Shaking of hands can be due to panic and can be due to with Chat Doctor.  Other with
