Dear White Iris,
Your doctor obviously put you on xanax for a reason. He/she would have increased it for a reason too. See if you can get an earlier appointment if you can and let him/her know what is happening. Sometimes the side effects are awful. Years ago was on Xanax and changed to Kalma (the generic type) and found there were less side effects. I dont know why.
Speaking of benzo's - I am on 4mg of Klonolpin per day and occasionally take another 2mg if I need it, for over two years. I take it because i need it. Am I addicted - maybe yes - but without it I am a mess. I suffer from necks spasms and stuttering.
Why do we seeking to demonise a particular medicine (benzo's) if it helps us?? Do we denegrate Lithium or Aspirin?? Just my two cents anyway.
Sorry v214k. Please try not to use pot. It has been proven to lead to psychotic episodes and in some cases full blown schizophrenia. Yes I probably am a hypocite.
Please check things with your doctor White Iris.
Hope you feel better soon. 
Possum
