HelloA friend has been on xanax for several years. They got up to 5 to 8 mg a day. They had been hording the medication and started committing fraud to get the meds. Now the police are involved and all meds were removed from the house. What are the symtoms of withdrawl. What would be the danger signs that we need to get them to a hospital? and how long does withdrawl take? detox wont take them til they decide whether or not to charge them with a crime. I called a crisis center they couldn't tell me much.Thanks in advance
