I dont mean to sound harsh, but I think you're reading too much into all this and you're wasting (or at least not optimizing) the time you and your doc spend together. I think if you want to go back to IR, ask your doc about it. If he doesn't want you on IR or on BZD's, he'll let you know somehow. If you still want to stay on the IR or BZDs in general, you can talk about it. Unless he's a total a$$hole, which it certainly doesn't sound like he is, he should be willing to communicate with you pretty openly, especially over something so minor (even with all the bad press, xanax is rx'd a whole, whole lot, so its not a big deal unless your doc is some benzo-phobic DEA agent-in-training. Then you're screwed).
You don't sound like a drug seeker and you're not looking for a crazy combo or super-high doses and you don't seem to have anything (axis II, history of RX drug abuse/alcoholism, etc.) that would make any controlled substances contraindicated so...I think you should take a deep breath, and tell your doc what you think the best thing for you is, instead of freaking out and (mis)communicating through these oddball tactics that might prove ineffective, if not counterproductive.
Good luck.
