Acute phase. On average, withdrawal from Xanax lasts 2 months or more. A good rule of thumb I like to go by is the 90 day rule for any psychiatric medication. In most cases, withdrawal symptoms subside by the third month of not taking the medication.
However, I was clean for 7 years and was prescribed xanax due to severe anxiety issues. When I stopped taking tâ¦he medication I had to deal with the withdraw symptoms for 3 months. The first month of that was in a detox facility and was AWFUL. At the time I stop taking the medication I was only using a few mg's a day.
