I am 6 weeks pregnant and I have been taking Xanax since 2005 for my anxiety

I am 29 yrs old and once my husband and I found out that I was pregnant. I called my regular doctor and my obgyn and they both told me to stop taking my Xanax. Now I am feeling more anxiety and I'm very shakie. What's your opinion on what I should do? I've been talking to my obgyn but she is not helping me with this at all. Is the anything else that is safe to take while I'm pregnant for anxiety attaches and panic attacks? Please help me, thank you! What should I do about this problem?
