I take 8 mg xanax a day and i would like to get off of them. in november i became catatonic for over 3 weeks i was unable to use my legs shower i was being on myself. what medication can i take to stop the xanax withdrawal?

Withdrawal from Xanax after long term use is difficult. It should be done while under a Dr's care. Talk to your prescribing Dr about your next steps and how to step by step reduce, then discontinue their use. The intensity of withdrawal symptoms increases with the duration of Xanax use. Persons using Xanax more than 6 months should be carefully monitored while withdrawing.
