Hi ~ I'm sorry you went thru this. First, your fiance' should NOT have cold-turkeyed! He's lucky he didn't have seizures! He actually could have DIED! It's very dangerous to do that, especially with Xanax! You must taper very gradually, and I'm glad he finally did that.
Yes, you DO become very unstable when withdrawing from drugs/medications. Your body is "craving" these drugs, and strange things happen. LOL After a time, things level off, and you start getting back to normal again. It's an awful time and certainly no fun.
Try to give him the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully he'll return to normal, and things will turn out ok. If he was abusing the medications, you might want to encourage him to go to some support groups -- perhaps NA. He won't be the only one who has been caught in the trap of abusing medications.  We often think that if one works, then 2 or 3 will be better.
Best of luck & God bless. Hugs, Lee
