I think it's amazing you were able to help your son with his addiction to Xanax, it's a very difficult drug to stop. I'm taking Ativan daily which is another drug in the same family and I've been struggling for years to get away from them but there's not much help available where I live
and the doctor who gave them to me doesn't really want to take responsibility. I must agree with the other comment made, he has diabetes so I'm assuming his doctor was involved with this decision, also, his symptoms have not gone so he's still addicted and walking a fine line. The stress can also raise his blood sugar levels, I truly think he needs another medication to calm down his symptoms otherwise he remains in a vulnerable state that could possibly lead to a relapse.
