Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Xanax at 4mg is too high a dose. If that is not helping then you need to get furthewr investigated. You may get a thyroid profile and BP monitoring done. Further you may try mirtazapine as this will not make you hyper and cause sedation as well.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:
