Does any one out there have trouble between what their
M.D. thinks and what their counselor thinks? My M.D.
has me on 100 mg zoloft a day and 1 mg xanex twice a
day. My counselor thinks I need to go through a three
day rehab course to get off of the xanex. Also is it
significant for me to tell my doctor that, in my
counselors words,I have auditory hallucinations?I
haven't thought to tell my M.D. that I hear things
because I am used to it and don't even think about it
anymore. Would this change which medication I take?

Many non-M.D. counselors are very wary of medications, seeing everything as an "addiction". The amounts you're taking are miniscule, nowhere near addictive levels. Unless you have a substantial history of substance abuse (not just supervised use of legitimate medicines), I'd say you're counselor is way off the deep end. Often they see any medications as a threat to the psychological perspective, when in fact they are 2 sides of the same coin. I've done years of counseling, all kinds of good insight, but it just doesn't make a dent without medical help. I know!
