Looking for peace

Sorry if my english is too bad I'm from Mexico. I used to take alprazolam think its the same thing as XANAX. I take it for seven years in a row, and it has been 1 Year 1 month since I'm sober. IT has been really hard but its ok!!! I'm free...

The thing is that i'm going trough nervous system problems.. a lot of tremors and anxiety.. I leave the medicine suddenly from one day to another..I just want to know if it gets better.. my dosis used to be like 4 mg on mornings and 2 more during the day... please give me advice.. I still live with panic attacks, but I can't lie,  it has improved a lot !! mi really greatful.. There were moments were i couldnt handle lights or sounds, I couldn't speak Well and now I can. I hope Someday I can live a normal life!! Thankyou all..
