Hello!

I would suggest getting him medical attention. I believe he was taking a benzo and that should not be stopped cold turkey. It is extremely dangerous!

Keep us posted.

Doctors are suppose to help no matter what the situation. It is their duty. Find new doctors or probably psychiatrists to help your son. Find doctors that deal with drug dependency and detox. You son needs medical help.

My husband quit ct off diazapan and he ended up in a mental facility. He thought that people were after him and that I was being raped. They go into a state that is very very very scary. He actually looked like he belonged in the mental ward. But.....he tapered down and now he is completely clean off them. He feels like a kid again. So I would get him some medical attention. Hope that helped good luck
