Xanax contains the active ingredient Alprazolam, this is a Benzodiazepine and they are notoriously easy to become dependent on or addicted to and the withdrawal effects can be pretty severe.

What you are describing are normal withdrawal effects, you may also experience diarrhea, insomnia and increased blood pressure and heart rate.

Have you tried consulting a medical professional for assistance in possibly tapering off the medication?

You can read more about the medication here:

Is there any other information I can help you with?
