By law no one can be discriminated against based on any medical condition...unless that condition prohibits you from performing you duties without reasonable accomodations. In other Words not only are you protected by the HIPPA Laws, you are also protected by the ADA. The only reason an employer should even know that you are currently taking Xanax is if you fail the drug test based on a positive urine screen for benzodiazepines, and at that point you just show them your legal prescription from a licensed physician and you are golden! If an employer/prospective employer tells you that you are fired or that they cannot hire you based on this you have one hell of a lawsuit under the ADA laws. On the other hand if you are obtaining the Xanax through black market channels and do not have a prescription for it, then yes....you failed your drug test!! Hope this information helps!!
