Chris, your story is inspiring. I quit Xanax cold turkey last November and felt pretty good after the acute withdrawal phase, until I didn’t feel good. Like flipping a light switch, everything changed. Severe depression and anxiety. Horrible tinnitus. Stomach issues. Extreme Fatigue and an overall feeling of not wanting to live anymore. I have two beautiful daughters and 4 precious grands. I will become a great grandmother in December. I have so much to live for, yet I want to die. Something is broken and I have to believe it will get better. This is a death sentence, if things don’t change.
Thanks for sharing!
