I take 1mg xanax up to once a day (typically every other day) and it has completely changed my life for the better. In conjunction with propranolol taken regularly (20mg twice a day, roughly), my anxiety is finally in a fairly well-controlled state. Unfortunately, getting benzo prescriptions -- even for the low dosage and frequency I'm on -- is hard and getting harder. Ordering it online is possible but rife with scams and risks. I understand that some people abuse these medications but for me they're life-saving; in cracking down on benzo prescriptions, my anxiety medication is becoming a source of anxiety in itself.

Have you tried a medication that targets chronic rather than acute anxiety? You're going to start tolerating the Xanax sooner or later, so you need a plan for when that starts to happen. Escitalopram has worked great for me, in addition to propanalol as needed.
