I would just add that if your probation officer is OK then you still need to keep in mind that Xanax (Alprazolam) is an intoxicant and you can absolutely be convicted of DWI if you drive after taking it.

For the purposes of DWI, the term "Intoxicated" is defined as not having the normal use of mental or physical faculties by reason of the introduction of alcohol, a controlled substance, a drug, a dangerous drug, a combination of two or more of those substances, or any other substance into the body.

Take the prescription to your probation officer and you should not have a problem. If your PO does have an issue, call your attorney. Good luck.
