Staying Sane During Benzo & SSRI Tapering & Withdrawal

Jan 27, 2026

In today’s new video I share a journal entry that I wrote when I was just 1 week off the Xanax. In this entry I was back at work after having taken bereavement leave for my grandmother’s funeral, and for the first time in 13 years I was trying to navigate adult life and work without the medications. It was a daunting task, and a confusing period, but I was determined to see the process of healing through and was fighting to maintain my hope and sanity.

In this video I share some of the symptoms I was experiencing during my Xanax (& Paxil) taper and withdrawal process, and I also share some mindset and coping tips that will help you to keep moving forward in your own healing process!
