I'm on my third day on Xanax ( 0.25 mg ) and the doctor prescribed me to take it 3 times a day , today I felt really dizzy after taking my second pill , I was wondering is this a side effect and I am thinking of stopping them , will there be any withdrawal symptoms if I stop ?

I don't suggest you continue taking this drug.
Xanax is the most potent and known as being the most addictive of all the benzos, so use with caution if there's any chance you need to take this med daily or have the slightest hint of substance abuse.
Xanax also has the worst side effect profile of the benzos, it could mess with your sleep, mess with your hormones, mess with your weight and just mess with you in general.

That is the lowest dosage of xanax there is, if you have only been on it for a few days, there will be no withdrawal symptoms. The dizziness is just a side effect that will get better with time.

after 3 days of taking xanax the withdrawal symptoms will be very minimal if any.some people cannot tolerate xanax.

yes there will be withdrawal from this medication, so you should not take it on yourself to just quit, casue of that. I could make your smptoms 3-4 times worse, you need to be taken off of it slowly. Now what you are feeling may just be the medication working, at first any medication like that will do that, but after your body get us to it, then you will not be feeling the way you are now. So i would contact the doctor, and tell him what is happening when you take it, and he can take you off of it safey.

Your dosage is low and you haven't been taking it long enough for any system buildup, so there won't be any withdrawl symptoms.
The dizziness is probably a side effect and could go away, but if you're having reservations, come off of it and talk to your Doctor.

i will never understand why docs prescribe xanax to be taken long term. it should be used only as needed in combination with an ssri in my opinion.
