quitting xanax is hard

Just started tapering off xanax.  Though I was on the lowest dosage for close to a month.  It still is hard.  Symptoms includes so far insomnia, heart palpitation, flushing through the body and slight headache, fatigue, blood pressure drop.  This is the hardest thing that I have to go through.  I don't know if these are the withdrawal symptoms or previous symptoms amplified.  I thought I was OK on xanax but then after a couple of weeks of insomnia, I'm tired of xanax.  I need a lot of strength to get through this....
