Jeali, when various codeine analogues were having no effect on my pain and I wanted to ask for something else I always took the drugs back with me to the surgery, and handed them to the doctor so she knew I wasn't abusing them and just pretending to be in pain to get more opiates. It worked because she always gave me something new until we found something that worked. It turned out that my poor response was due to the SSRI I was taking blocking the conversion of codeine into morphine, which vindicated me in the end.
Maybe you could try a similar tactic with the Xanax if you're worried the doc suspects you're abusing it?
