    Xanax Withdrawal?
    Been taking up to 2 mgs of Xanax a day for only three weeks, am out, can't get a refill. Will I for sure have withdrawal problems?

    Why no refill? The prescribing doctor should have told you how to withdraw safely. Where is he in all this? What was his plan for you? Did he give you a prescription for Prozac or Zoloft or some other drug that will replace the Xanax?

    No, you will not necessarily experience withdrawal and at that level and time span quoted any response should be mild.
