Could you see a regular doctor and explain the situation? Many will not agree to prescribe benzos, but some will, if they have any common sense (older doctors especially, since they've been around and know what really works). I would stick with clonazepam (Klonopin) -- a request for Xanax can be interpreted as "drug-seeking behavior", even if it isn't.
Generic clonazepam is quite cheap (around $20/month, depending on the dose etc.) -- you just have to find a doctor who will prescribe it.
Good luck!
