"the medicine itself i didn&#039;t have an issue with, although i still prefer klonopin, but it was the withdrawal i couldn&#039;t handle.  i was on this medication for two months and since, like i previously mentioned, i decided to go back on klonopin. i stopped taking the xanax xr. when i did, i felt like a bus ran over me.  i felt shaky, drowsy and like i&#039;d been out drinking the night before (which i haven&#039;t done in 10 years). it really wasn&#039;t worth the withdrawal."
