Xanax Withdrawal?

I was prescribed Xanax for my anxiety and stress after I had a bad bout with the flu and I hadn’t felt any better for over 2 weeks even though I had been to the hospital several times and had a cat scan and nothing was out of the ordinary , had a chest x-ray and all my internal organs were fine, my lungs are clear, my ears were infection free, I will admit for about 10 months I did use marijuana in a way which some would consider moderate to heavy usage and about 17 days ago I abruptly quit after feeling all these different symptoms, now that I’m on xanax I have felt better but my head still feels heavy, a kind of cloudy feeling and my eyes seem to feel like theres this pressure behind them, I’m only on 0.25mg of xanax and I only have a few pills left, should I continue the prescription or would I have any withdrawal effects to deal with from taking 15 pills over a 5-6 day period? I just haven’t felt like myself after I became really ill weeks ago, and all test show I’m fine.
can anyone suggest a safer alternative other than xanax something that will not have the same side effects of xanax and still help me with the anxiety and stress? I have a doctors’ appt. tomorrow and I would like to suggest something other than xanax for relief.
