That is wonderful that you have a physician that is working with you. You mentioned that you cleaned up your diet of processed foods. Over the past two years of trying to find information that could help my husband who is in prolonged benzo withdrawal syndrome from 22 years of Xanax, I have come to think that the reason there is so much anxiety and depression is because our food is mostly junk and lacking in not only Vitamins but needed minerals. That was really smart to start off by improving your diet, wish I would have focussed on that sooner.

Hello, @ejezbeta - wanted to welcome you to Mayo Clinic Connect. I'm sorry you have not found the physician help you were hoping to find for the alprazolam (Xanax) withdrawal for your husband.

Another thread on Connect you may want to check out deals with tapering from alprazolam (Xanax) specifically https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/going-off-of-xanax

How is your husband doing today?

@brit - just wanted to confirm which benzodiazepine you are tapering off of right now? How are you doing?
