You might think about talking to another doctor who is a drug specialist. I am not sure I understand why your doctor would be prescribing so much Xanax to you.

Your dosage is very high, you must have built up some tolerance...
You really should go to an addiction specialist to establish a tapering plan. Here's a good example : http://www.benzo.org.uk/manual/bzsched.htm#s1
Tapering off such a high dosage is gonna take  you some time, be patient, it's the secret to a successful tapering plan.
Best of luck to you. sophie.

You are on a high amount.. Xanax has to be weaned very slowly and it would be best for you to discuss this with a Dr. I hope you can do this being honest with one would be your safest approach to getting clean.. lesa
