I stopped taking xanax 2 weeks ago, i went cold turkey how long will the withdrawl be. The doctor i was seeing was a pain mangt. he said he couldn't help my depression and stress any more and said i need to see a doctor that treats depression, i don't understand why he didn't tell me to go to that kind of doctor before giving those meds.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magicThe severity of withdrawal from these medications depends on the dose used and the length of time the medication was taken. It is also influenced by which benzodiazepine was taken.Xanax is a short acting benzodiazepine and it is associated with an increased risk of withdrawal. The withdrawal symptoms can last up to 3 months in some persons.Your depression can be treated by a general physician or psychiatrist. If the symptoms are severe, a psychiatrist would be the best option.The most commonly used medications are the SSRI which include zololf, paxil, celexa, prozac,  lexapro.I hope this helps
