You might have your BF look at all the above posts and there is nothing wrong with going to a doctor and telling him the exact truth. The docs have heard it before trust me... there are a lot of us around. The Doctor that treated me in the Detox that I was in, is one of us.
Forget about the BF and get to a Doc

Being a recovering addict with xanax myself, "Yes" it is very dangerous to stop cold turkey.
You can have a seizer or so many things. This is not anything to mess around with, I would call my dr or go to the emergency room if he won't give them back. If he does give them back get some help to get off of them from your dr. or someone in the detox system . I was on a detox medication called Gabapentin in generic form and my body still went through so much.
I sippose I really don't have much else to say than did the others. Withdrawal from any benzodiazepine can cause seizures, strokes and can be fatal. And your b/f taking them from you: 1) is a federal crime (this is no misdemeanor we are talking about especially now that you are informed) and 2) makes him liable for anything that happens to you due to the xanax withdrawal.
If there is no benzo. (ativan, temazepam, valium etc) you can take now, you need to get to a doctor or emergency room ASAP!

you need to tell your b/f that you have to wean off..it is VERY dangerous to stop cold turkey...If he loves you then he needs to help you wean and not take them..You can have seizures..This is really serious.
hope this helps
Pardon how I say this all but Hollie, your boyfriend really pisses me off. Everyone elses posts are correct and true. I am tapering off of a nine year xanax use for major anxiety and panick attacks(very real). I ran out one time and for two days literallyy went banannas. I had my doctor switch me to valium to taper. Am down to ten milligrams of Valium which is one fourth equivalent of the 2 milligrams I was on. He has no right to mess with your life which he is doing. If i was there I would make them give him to you or call the police. You definitely need to slowly and i mean slowly get off of them if you need to. If you take them as prescribed and they work for you then im my opinion it is Ok. I switched because I wanted to take care of my anxiety but with something much less potent. If you want to give me your number I will call him. As one of them posted, go to an emergency room. but if it were me I would call the police. Anything you want us to try and help with post. Im a newcomer also, but definitely have the knowledge of the Benzos, not from abuse but hard core studying and being on them myself. Ill pray for you until you post back. Elvistcb
By the way Hollie, the football shaped ones are 1 milligram equivalent to 20 milligrams of valium. The lowest dose in Xanax is .25 usually a round peach shape. Elvistcb
Tell the da you can die from stopping xanax cold turkey. Literally.
