This anti-benzo attitude is very frustrating. I guess the options are to simply refuse to wean off (with the risk that your doctor will in turn refuse to prescribe it); perhaps suggest Klonopin, if it works for you (doctors seem much more comfortable with it, and most uneasy about Xanax); or get another doctor.

If you're dealing with a regular GP, then the chances of benzophobia are especially high. I think that your best option would be to see a psychiatrist, preferably one who's experienced with anxiety disorders (if you aren't doing so already). Maybe you could ask your current doctor for a referral and/or start investigating possible psychiatrists in your area.

Good luck!
