Thank you for your question and welcome to AnxietyConnection.com.
I am not a medical professional and would not be able to give you medical advice.
Many doctors will wean you off medications, such as Xanax, so that you are taking less and less each week. Because you can experience withdrawal symptoms if you stop this medication suddenly, you should consult with your doctor before you stop taking it.
