He's probably miserable and bored. That's how I was when I abused the hell out of benzos. After a couple years, when I wasn't so bored and miserable, I didn't even think about the pills anymore. Unfortunately, I had a psychotic manic episode, so my doc decided--knowing my history--that a bit of Klonopin was OK. I wish more docs were like her; most docs see "substance abuser" and try to dope you up with massive amounts of seroquel and the most mind-numbing antidepressants available. I even had a doc try to tell me that depakote was a viable option for anxiety. sheesh.

You're right, though; he needs some kind of supervised taper. I've heard of people being prescribed double digit doses of xanax, but I think its frowned upon.
