I have been taking up to 3mg/day of Xanax. I am having anxiety attacks with no relief. Any suggestions, please

I have been on an ever increasing dose of Xanax for the last 5 years. I am now at 3mg/day. I have been at this dosage for maybe two years now. It doesn’t seem to be working anymore, and I’m looking for alternative, homeopathic suggestions. I am under the guidance of a psychologist and psychiatrist and have a good network of doctors, but I am at a loss right now. I can’t sleep, eat, sit still, anything. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions anyone out there may have. I am considering homeopathic alternatives but don’t know where to start.

There are deep breathing exercises etc. that you can learn in courses I hope are available in your area.
Klonopin is better but the effects of all benzodiazepines probably wont work for you anymore if you are where I’ve been. Effexor and Paxil are great for anxiety and they aren’t addictive like Xanax.

I’ve tried tapering off but cold turkey may work for you.
Here is the research I did when I wanted to taper off:
