I am currently withdrawing off 3 mg of Xanax and down to 1mg. I’m having severe anxiety and headaches.

 

Xanax has a quick half life-

I would go up to 2mg and allow the headaches and anxiety to subside-

 

Then read the withdrawals in the links and you'll probably go of over to Klonopin a longer lasting Benzo and then you can follow a taper routine
