Dear, thanks for the question.
Yes your doubt is true, seizures and anxiety are symptoms during xanax withdrawal. You didn't mention the duration of xanax medication. These symptoms appear on sudden withdrawal after prolonged intake.
You should have tapered xanax intake gradually over 2 to 3 months to avoid these withdrawal symptoms. I would advise you to kindly consult your doctor again and take his/her help in xanax withdrawal.
I wish you a faster recovery and healthy living.
