Prescribed xanax .5 mg for 12 days for sleep , when stopped for 2 days withdrawal occurred again prescribed .5mg along with vitamin b , withdrawal getting worst ! taper over 3 weeks . how long insomnia last ? any chance of protracted withdrawal ?

I am not understanding this. There is very little withdrawal from such a low dose of Xanax. You may need to work on the insomnia with sleep hygiene such as a good sleep and wake schedule. Reduce caffeine and also reduce light exposuresuch as electronic devices.
