Going cold turkey from xanax can be fatal. You need to taper off maybe a week and then do the MRI. The doc/radiologist should know this. Its not just the seizure risk by going cold turkey from xanax, its your heart & perhaps other factors that cause it to be fatal.
Also, taking high doses of melatonin(15mg) to try and sleep will stop your natural production of melatonin in your body, ultimately throwing off your sleep cycle & making it harder to fall asleep when you'd like to. Our body produces melatonin when it gets dark(night time) to make us sleep & to repair the cells in our body. If people are going to take melatonin at bedtime to fall asleep its actually recommended (& many don't know this) to take less than 1mg. This will reduce the chance of your body stopping its own natural production of melatonin.
My best wishes to you Joshua, I hope things get better. It ***** to have to take a bunch of chemicals. Try to gradually reach toward more natural methods, I know it will be difficult but in time it is possible. The body is capable of amazing things & recovering itself if you let it do its job. Take care man.

Why are they using a med to treat Celiacs the best and only treatment is a gluten free diet. Also has anyone done a full thyroid workup-- TSH, Free T3, T4, thyroid antibodies and a thyroid ultrasound? Also since you have Celiacs has anyone tested your B12 level (need to be near 1000-- anything under 500 can cause neurological issues) also your ferritan levels (iron storage-- this needs to be around 50 even though the ranges start at 10 that is way too low.) Also Vit D has anyone checked that my doctor likes that to be around 60 anything under that he considers low. I have to take 4000iu/day.
I hope this helps,
