Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Xanax has a dependency forming tendency and as a result is commonly abused. Though you are not abusing it but as a law it has to be distributed safely. If you have difficulty in visiting regularly you can be shifted on SSRI or Buspirone. They can take care of your anxiety as well as they are not addicting drugs.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
