xanax for severe anxiety?

June 3rd, 2010

im_tiburon asked:


i havent mentioned this to my doc, mainly because im kinda embarrassed to do so but i have really bad anxiety, maybe close to panic attacks, but i feel panic attacks would include worse symptoms, but i have very bad social anxiety, and public anxiety, such as being outside, going to the store, basically doing normal things outside the house, i dont know where it came from but i do feel very uncomfortable in the “real world” i have taken a few benzos in the past, including klonopin, ativan and xanax, xanax actually worked the best but was taken off of it, ativan might have worked if it were a higher dosage and .5 of klonopin did no positive change, actually made things worse, so if i mention this to my doc my next appt. will he prescribe me xanax? im supposed to take a blood test the 24th, dont know what will show on it but i try my best mentally to be comfortable outdoors but it doesnt work at all, im also taking effexor for anti depressant/anxiety, please let me know
just want to say that its not possible for me to change doctors either, i dont have medical insurance, i dont know how i came about it, but the hospital assigned me this doctor because i had been in an urgent mental health and it just happened, so i can not see any other doctors, so maybe if i stress this to him he will understand, and let him know that im not seeking xanax to get high but that it seriously, genuinly helps me and hope he understands

In addition to this I am currently on probation for a class c felony, but, I have an SIS (suspended imposition of sentence), which from my understanding will drop the felony from my record after having successfully completed my probation. Also, I was only recently diagnosed with social anxiety disorder, and if it DOES disqualify me can I simply stop taking meds for it and just kinda deal with it and pretend I dont have it any more, like maybe I am cured or something?? any help would be great thanks.
I will not be done with my probation for probably another 3-5 years, so maybe then they will accept waivers? BTW my felony was a class c felony stealing and it was much under $500… I see conflicting opinions about my issue with social anxiety, the way would see it, the army probably prescribes anti anxiety medication for soldiers that are already enlisted, but thats just an estimated guess. im still not sure that they would accept someone with a pre-existing social anxiety disorder… and if not I would like to know if there is anything that i can do to work around it. ANYTHING at all. I was only diagnosed a couple of months ago… maybe if I get off the meds now the recruiters will take in to account that possibly I was just under some kinda of stress and it was just situational anxiety?…. which it kinda is…
