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.
Xanax withdrawal symptoms are very common in those using or suffering from the abuse of the medication. These adverse effects may last for some time, and the most acute symptoms may last for two months, with clinically significant symptoms remaining for months or even years in some cases.anax withdrawal may occur due to dependency on the drug resulting from monitored usage or from addiction and abuse. Many sufferers feel helpless when dealing with the intense cravings and may relapse into use or abuse after the medication is no longer required for a valid medical condition.
