Does this site also include things like withdrawal from benzodiazapines (xanax)?

8. I misunderstood my Doctor

When he was suggesting that I reduce my Xanax and I quit cold turkey. I had been taking it for around a year. Within 24 hours of stopping I started getting sick, I kept getting worse and worse and never connected it to the Xanax. I ended up in the ER thinking I was dying. After a single dose I was back to normal.....

After that, I decided that I wanted nothing to do with that drug. It took me almost a year of reducing by tiny amounts until I was off of it. I know that that is atypical, but it is not unheard of either. I would't touch it again with a 27 12 pole. For some people it is very addictive.

If you want to take medical advice from a plumber, I will tell you that if it were me, I would get a pill cutter and very slowly taper off of it.
