His seizure was probably related to his alcohol use, it is quite common to have seizure in alcohol users especially while they abruptly decrease the quantity of alcohol use or completely stop taking alcohol suddenly. It can also happen during alcohol intoxication though it is rare. It is in your best interest if you take him to a addiction psychiatrist who will opine the best regarding his condition and management. In the mean time continue librium and decrease the dose of anxilor-2 to half and stop after 3 days and thereafter do same with librium coz stopping them abruptly would make him more agitated and anxious.
