"Titus" = lorazepam: Titus (lorazepam) is a relative of xanax (alprazolam). I'm not sure whether your doctor is gradually transitioning you from one to the other? Neither of these medications can be stopped suddenly -- you risk a withdrawal syndrome that includes anxiety, tremor, sweating, confusion, and possible seizures. For anxiety, please make sure you're also working in psychotherapy and not only taking meds.

No question there: I know your desire is to stop Lorazepam and your psychiatrist raised it and added in xanax (alprazolam) in response to your distress. Please discuss your concerns with him at your next appointment . Not knowing all the circumstances, including his rationale, i cannot comment on his decisions. Please talk to him about other treatment options should the situation arise again. Psychotherapy and many other interventions could be helpful as well.
