If I understand your stated usage correctly as 1mg of Xanax for 4 or 5 days in a row and then NOT taking any Xanax at all for another 4 or 5 days before your urine test you should have little or no true physical withdrawals from Xanax. You may have some mental withdrawals as your brain/body is used to it's happy Xanax period once you've passed your urine test, but you're really at an extremely low dose compared to serious Xanax addicts and the fact that you can already take yourself off of them all by yourself for a week at a time proves that you've already beaten any true addiction to them.

As a long time off and on addict who's beaten and been eaten by the monster more than once, I wish you the best of luck, but suspect you'll have a fairly easy ride. :)

I have to agree with Envy, if you are already able to take several days off, like that, then I doubt you will have many physical withdrawals, if any.

The withdrawals occur when your body is dependent on something, because you are taking it on a regular basis, every day. Your body gets used to it and has to adjust to not having the substance, anymore.

Are there any other questions?

be careful, because if you do have moderate to severe withdrawal from any benzodiazapene, then, you will have a seizure that can kill you.

I've recently discovered that my daughter, who 34, with 2 kids, is taking Xanax (green bar S 90 3). I couldn't understand what was happening with her, slurring her words, forgetting, etc. She has also started drinking in the morning on weekends. I'm really scared for her!! Any suggestions how I can help her. If I ask her about the drinking or if she is taking pills she becomes extremely angry.
