Can cannabis help while tapering?

So I’ve been on daily 1 mg Xanax xr for months for a severe panic disorder and physical anxiety. I kind of want off the daily xan and go back to taking it when needed. My doc and I tried tapering off it a few months back but I felt like such shit we said fuck it and I went back on it.

I want to try tapering off again. I know it’s a small dose but I just felt so anxious and so bad. Would CBD/THC help with tapering off and with withdrawal symptoms?. I have not been a cannabis user for the last few years but I did smoke/do edibles weekly in my early 20s. I live in a state where weed is legal and I have access to medical quality cannabis products. My doc says I’m free to try it if I want but I’m wondering if anyone has experience or success w it. Ty in advance

Edit: weed has (for the most part) not heightened my anxiety in the past (pre-benzos). I also did take cbd gummies for a while in the past without negative side effects on those.
