Brief Answer:
restart with original dose of xanax.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concerns.

Quitting xanax abruptly can cause withdrawal symptoms, physiological as well as psychological.

As you are having withdrawal symptoms (feeling hopeless), I would suggest you to start back with the original dose (1mg of xanax) and withdraw gradually under your doctor's supervision.

Xanax is a prescription drug. So you would need a valid prescription for this.

Hope this helps.

Feel free to ask further.

Take care.
Thanks.
