urgent help

I don't know exactly what is going on but what i do know is that i'm about to lose it. I don't know if im having a breakdown or what. I keep having these bad recurring thoughts and i cant seem to stop them. I'm currently taking xnx for my anxiety (xnx 1mg three times a day and xnx 2mg xr once a day) I'm also taking librax for my ibs twice a day. Last week I took two benicars for my high blood pressure. The last time i took benicar was back in october. Also last week i decided to taper down on the xnx. Since then i've  just  beem taking one 2mg xnx xr and the two librax, along with those two benicars that i took just for one day. I have no clue what is going on, i feel as though im falling into a deep depression/breakdown. This has been the worse feeling i have ever gone through. Can anyone help? Does anyone what can be possibly going on????

Yes that's possible when you decrease your dose too quickly.

Thank you for your response. I guess what i am trying to find out if what i am going through is a withdrawal? my doctor is a lost case, with him there is no such thing as "discussing" he just does and says things to cover his behind thats all. I just need some guidance please.

You may be decreasing your Xanax dose too quickly if you've gone from taking your 1 mg dose to only taking the Xanax XR in one week. Discuss a tapering schedule with your physician. Or you can try taking the 1 mg twice a day for 1 week (while still taking the Xanax XR). If well tolerated, decrease to 1 mg once daily the next week, then 1 mg every other day the week after.
