Xanax brain

I sparingly spot-dosed with Xanax for six months. I experienced inter-dose withdrawal symptoms every single day. My first cold turkey lasted 35 days. I went psychotic and reinstated which resulted in the paradoxical affect. I am 60 days into my second cold turkey. This time I take a low dose of Mirtazapine to ease the horrific withdrawal symptoms which include insomnia, intrusive thoughts and crippling depression.
