Meds

I have talked to people who have started new meds and then had to have the dosage increased.  However, I have been taking Xanax for about 8 months now and all of a sudden, I'm having heart palpitations and just feel like I'm going to jump out of my stin sometimes.
I've been checked out by a cardiologist so it's OK from that standpoint.  Plus they started when my father became ill at the same time my son was ill-my dad lived in another state and I'm an only child so I was very torn.  I stayed by his bedside for 3 weeks as he lay dying with my heart going beserk and not knowing if I would drop over at any moment.  However, once he died and I got back home, they stopped.  That was a month ago and now they've started again.  My son is starting high school and he suffers from anxiety so I really dread this.  
I only take .50mg per day of Xanax and I think my doc thinks I should taper off, but things are getting worse instead of better.  Is it common for your need for such medication to change like that?
