A member asked:
My husband has been on xanax (alprazolam) for two years and his doctor wants to take him off. what should we do? and should i be around him

Work with doctor: If your husband's doctor has determined that he no longer needs the xanax, (alprazolam) then work with him or her to develop a very slow and gradual tapering schedule. Because of xanax's potency, this may take longer than expected. Sure, you can be around your husband - and your presence might help & support him. If you're concerned for some other reason, please tell the doctor also.
