Sleeping is a natural pattern dude, if you relied on nax to put you down, your gonna get used to it. Especially if you have sleeping troubles.
The bars are meant for instant calm if your having a anxiety attack, not to be used as a sleeping aid (although they work well).
Short term memory loss is common too.

after about five years of non prescribed use (personally recreational isnt how i would characterise my use, self medication would be more accurate). maybe 3 mg daily, hasnt climbed and climbed, hit a plateau after the first month and its basically stayed there. used as an anxiolytic and taken in the day, not for bed.
incredibly effective drug, if you ask me...
however...
obviously theres that one big caveat. that being relating to when you run out.
alprazolam w/d is the worst drug w/d i have experienced by some distance and basically i just lose my fucking mind when it happens.
absolute hell on earth, it is thatnasty; and times that by fifty if you have to do anything while 'going natural' such as going to work. uuuuuurrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh does not even begin to describe it

.5 - 1mg xan a day for 10 days? jesus.
I whipped up a bowl of cake mix batter everyday for 2 weeks straight and licked the beaters dry of that super delicious chocolate. Sometimes I licked both beaters bone dry..... but sheeet now Im out of cake mix batter.
Ok the analogy doesnt TOTALLY work. But its works if you ignore the fact that cake batter ultimately ends up being cooked in the oven to make a cake. Assume this is bizarro world and cake mix batter is prescribed as an anti-depressant....... instead of the ultimate consequences becoming a walking not-give-a-fuck zombie, instead the the user would end up fat and diabetic. So, assuming the chocolate covered beaters are your 0.5 and 1.0mg xanax dosages.... then licking them there choc beaters for 10days straight aint gonna do shit.
Sudden cessation of not licking the 1 or 2 chocolate covered beaters will results in irritability and some discomfort for sure. Youll wish you had the beaters, but guess what.... you dont. And thats about the extent of it.
The key point here is 10 days. I appreciate the fact that alprazolam (xanax/alprax) is so fucking potent that you feel like a different person almost instantly, but 10 days is totally fucking fine. Any feeling that you might have regarding instant addiction is all in your head. I appreciate the fact that you probably cant sleep for shit, but I promise you you will not have any serious problems with getting over this thing.
Regarding sleep, heres 3 suggestions in order of preference:
*Go to your GP (or a more open-minded non douche bag of an understanding GP) and tell him you have a flight to New York to visit family and youre shit scared of flying. Tell him/her that your previous GP wrote you a script for temazepam. Unless your file is flagged as a serious risk regarding drugs of addiction (of which temazepam rarely qualifies as a drug of addiction. Id be super surprised if you present yourself in a smartly dressed manner, maybe take your wife.... and if the fucker suggests something like restavit then tell him you cant deal with the shitty half a day hang over the next day...
*Melatonin. This stuff is great.... Aus has recently relaxed the laws regarding melatonin meaning you can buy it locally. Unfortunately though the only preparations Ive seen have been pretty week ie. like 2mg or something. Not to mention the majority of shit Ive seen locally is homeopathic bullshit. If 1 part in 100000000 floats your boat then by all means pick up a homeopathic preparation, but personally I think its bullshit.
-No the best way to get melatonin is online through US sites. The site I use have a triple strength 10mg prep available. 60 capsules of 10mg's. Good stuff and its like 5 bux USD and they have a buy one get one free very other week. I also order 5-htp form this site and I find 5-htp and mela taken about 30 mins before bed works wonders together. If your doc is being a cunt then I HIGHLY recommend getting some melatonin. Melatonin is actually produced naturally in the brain and regulates sleep.... it also works great helping travellers adjust to jet lag.
*If you would like to know the site I use to buy my mela and 5-htp PM me. Google your friend but this site is great... I literally ordered some last Wednesday (co-incidentally enough) and the package arrived today. I was kinda shocked actually.
*The third and shittiest alternative for sleep is use restavit or maybe phenergen or another sedating anti-histamine. Restavit is probably the most effective but fuck me sideways do I hate the hang over the next day. Its not really a physical thing but mentally it feel like my brains a steam train and the dude up from is shovelling coal into the fire maybe one every half hour or so. Just enough to keep the train going but good luck getting to where you need to go for that day. Progress is a frustratingly lethargic experience.

^ I'm surprised you're not diabetic after all that cake batter.

^10mg/day. And of course everyone is different. That's great that you didn't experience any unpleasant withdrawal - but not everyone at every time would have the same experience.

Taking one 5mg diazepam pill instead of the xanax as a last dose would have done the trick for you after 10 days....simple as that. Remember!

Perfectly said ayjay
Everyone is different - and everyone's reaction to any substance is going to be different to the next. The one thing that a lot of people don't realise is that Xanax (or Alprazolam) doesn't discriminate between the dose you take daily. For example, someone taking 0.25mg daily for 2 weeks and another taking 4mg daily for 2 weeks won't necessarily find WD's easier, nor becoming tolerant at the same speed. As a tolerant prescribed user of Xanax, I see it as the crack cocaine of 'illicit' drugs 
It may be fun to start with, though it doesn't last long and IMO isn't something you want to become dependent on. Script or no script - benzo dependance is a bitch 8(
