Video Transcript

"Hi. My name is Dr. Kim Makoi. I'm a holistic chiropractor and certified addictionologist from San Fransisco, California. And this is how to conquer Xanax withdrawal symptoms. As with withdrawing from any addictive substance, it's never pleasant to withdraw from Xanax. So, some of the things that you can do to help conquer some of those systems are things that will help to keep your neurotransmitters fairly balanced. So, among those things, exercise is really important. Get into a good routine exercise situation, especially where you can be getting at least 30 minutes of good aerobic cardio exercise. Those will help keep your neurotransmitters balanced. You also want to avoid sugary foods and simple carbs, things that will tend to bring your blood sugar up and crash them down really hard. You'll want to increase your good quality protein intake. Some people like to use protein shakes. They're very simple to use. And also, many people find that amino acid therapy is also beneficial in battling withdrawal. Of course, as with any addiction, it's important that you consult with your doctor or an addiction professional who can also help you out. It's also helpful to get into some form of psychotherapy to help you cope with some of the stress or anxiety that might have led you to Xanax in the first place. And those are some of the things you can do to conquer Xanax withdrawal symptoms."
