Doctors In San Francisco California That Prescribe Xanax For Panic Attacks (Page 3)
(Newest replies first)

I am having a really hard time finding a doctor that will give me a script for xanax. I use to be able to get them from my old physician, but not anymore. This makes my life a living hell. So I figured that since I actually have a legitimate reason to be prescribed xanax that I could go see my doctor and just be honest with her and I'd get my xanax legally instead of having to go on a scavanger hunt to find real alprazolam. But I was wrong. She treated me like s*** and pretty much made me feel like I was a joke, or some addict trying to get a fix. ( which I am not ) All of this just made my life worse. I feel so discouraged and hopeless. It is not fair that all these doctors seem to be nowadays is these people, these self ritgeous smug people who get to determine whether or not I get to be able function like a normal human and not have to be a shaky, scared and nervous mess all the f*****g time.

Please if anyone knows of any doctors in San Francisco California that understand that there are some people who genuinely need xanax to help them, please list them. All I have insurance wise is medi- cal, I'm currently trying my best to find employment but my panic attacks, GAD AND PTSD are making it almost impossible for me. Any help or info from anyone will be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

Getting back to the O/P, they should try another Doctor, especially if one laughs at you? Of course when you're on MediCal you don't get the coverage you would receive as if you had good health plan.

I would start with a good psychologist who will refer you to a good phychiatrist or just start with a phychiatrist & your medical chart of having had them & where & why. My pain management Dr. Made me see my psychologist for a visit because Dr's consider Xanax a psycho drug area & they have to protect themselves . My panic attacks are extreme along with my spinal nerve pain from many injuries & way over use. It is very difficult to just not get out of the bed. On 1 drug - take my word for it. Never take neurontin or generic name gabapentin & lyrica is the basic same . All kinds of Dr.s give them for everything . They were invented originally for epilepsy! The side effects from gabapentin nearly killed me . I hope Dr.'s have quit giving those out randomly because they aren't controlled .

I've been taking Xanax for 22 years to treat the burning pins and needles in the right side of my body that are one of the symptoms of fibromyalgia and as an adjunct medication to help me sleep. I continue to be prescribed this med by my PCP, just as I have been for all these years. Just FYI - I have been on exactly the same dose for the entire 22 years (no increases!) and, while I am allowed to take the entire 4 mg per day that I'm prescribed, I often take only .5 mg or 1 mg. On bad days, when the burning and prickling are especially bad or during periods when I have gone days without sleeping, I'll take the full dose. When I'm sleeping better or not dealing wit the burning and prickling, I take .5 a day with no adverse symptoms. It's dangerous and unfair to generalize. Thank God my doctor isn't an arrogant, self-serving, know-it-all but a compassionate human being who has figured out which patients he can trust.

I am very sorry about the problem you had with your doctor.

However, if you go in asking for a specific medication, especially one like this that can be habit forming and is frequently abused, doctors are taught to view that as being drug seeking behavior. Additionally, due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, your PCP won't be able to prescribe it on a long-term ongoing basis, you'll need to see a specialist for that.

This medication could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability.

Can anyone suggest a good doctor in that area?
