Go as per your Psychiatrist's prescription. If not convinced you may consider second opinion by consulting an other doctor. It is not advisable to take your own decisions as the consequences may not be in your favour

Xanax is Alprazolam which is short acting and has high addiction potential. It should not be used long term. So it is wise to follow ur doctor's advice. There r a lot of other safer alternatives.
