fayth i'm sorry to hear you're having such a tough time, especially over the holidays.
for the strictly medication-related issues, you can try posting on http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/
they might be able to help with xanax detox.unfortunately i can't give you the name of a good doctor in nyc. and i see you're looking hard for the help and support you need, and not finding it. :(
i'm concerned about you and i'm glad that you're reaching out. you sound like you need somebody supportive to talk to. can you call a crisis line? http://suicidehotlines.com/newyork.html
depression comes from a lot of things. the brain chemistry is one thing, but financial pressures and stresses from family and friends are another. are you seeing a counselor, therapist, or other supportive person that can help you work through your anger and frustration?
i'm sorry i can't be much help, but you're not alone, and there are many posters here who have come back from chemical dependency of many kinds. it's a long and tough process. but if you're committed to being well, keep seeking out help for your body (and talk for your mind). there is hope.
good luck.
