A friend of mine went off xanax pretty much cold turkey after years of taking it as prescribed. Luckily for her, she did not have seizures. Make sure you taper slowly enough to prevent seizures. Abrupt benzo withdrawal is considered life-threatening and is often done in a hospital detox program.
Anyway, my friend had cognitive issues that took some time to resolve. Mixing up words, things like that. It got better after a few months. She had been on xanax for 20 years though, so probably it won't be as bad for you.
Just be careful.
