Hi dear.I understand your concern.Xanax contains clonazepam.It is anxiolytic which can be used in anxiety.If you do not have such features then start gradually decrease the dose to avoid withdrawal.Generally it has very less withdrawal features.I have advised in my patient following wayStart from 1 mg, reduce it to 0.5 mg in a week.after 1 week reduce to 0.25 mg for another 1 week.Then take alternate day and stop it within 1 month of period.Take opinion of your treating psychiatrist for better assistance.still have query then feel free to ask.Concentrate over natural way which can help to reduce stress like meditations and deep breathing exercise etc.Happy to help you further.Get well soon.
