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
