@ Verwon:
Do you seriously think I've never heard of Buspirone? It's just one in the long list of drugs that did not help me. I have been taking antidepressants among other psych meds since I was 14 years old and I am now 40. I have subjected myself repeatedly to all varieties of tricyclics, SSRI's, norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, and combinations thereof; I've even tried MAOI's. I have also tried other benzos -- Klonopin and Valium -- and they don't help me. I have been in treatment by therapists for the better part of my life; individual, family, and group. I have suffered from paralyzing anxiety attacks since I was a young child. I never said I would need it for the rest of my life; I do have periods when I don't use it because I don't always feel it's necessary. In fact I hate being on drugs, I don't even like to drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes, the most popular 'crutch' drugs (which are much more dangerous than Xanax, but don't require a prescription). If you're wondering, it was a doctore who suggested Xanax to me -- how do you think I started using it in the first place? I benefit from using it for generalized and situation-specific anxiety. What I don't benefit from is sanctimonious lecturing about what I do, under the monitoring of a trained psychiatrist who specializes in anxiety, to function more easily and make life more bearable.

It seems to be a stalemate -- if you ask for Xanax, you can't get it.

I started taking it over 10 years ago. I have moved several times since then and it has been difficult at best to find a doctor to prescribe it. I have a long history with many medications and none of them have been as effective at treating any symptoms as Xanax has been for treating my persistent anxiety. Basically, there is a reason it was used in the first place: it works.

I also feel frustrated by the fact that because other people abuse it, I have to look and look for someone to prescribe it for me. If this fits the profile of a so-called 'drug seeker', then I am in a bind. What else can I do other than ask for it?

I've tried every anxiety medication under the sun . I don't think you could name one I haven't tried because I honestly didn't want to be on a benzo but after years of being plagued by my panic attacks and anxiety which has messed up jobs and my college education . I be done the self help groups, therapy, and an obscene amount of non benzo meds . Finally I realize that Valium / alprazolam are the only two things that relieve my anxiety . I've been through soo many psychiatrist s I'm at the point of Giving up . I live in cape may county . Please if anyone knows a doctor that is not brain dead and willing to prescribe Valium alprozalom or atavan please let me know . This isn't someone trying to get high and abuse it . I'm really suffering and if I hear another doctor try to give me busbar clonidine celexa gabapetin etc idk what to do . I exercise I try to meditate and all that self help bulls*** doesn't always work and I'm tired of being treate with these bulls*** meds when I'm suffering

Did you ever find a doctor in Monmouth County? I am literally in the SAME EXACT situation you are in. I suffer from severe anxiety and panic attacks since I lost my 2 1/2 yr old son 10 years ago and my doctor would not give any higher of a dose until i saw a psychiatrist. I saw the psychiatrist and she seems to (after one 45min session) diagnosed me as bipolar which I do not think is the proper diagnosis. I feel like she wants to push off the anxiety for bipolar and give me anti-seizure/psych meds rather than just prescribing the xanax that I KNOW WORKS for me! It makes no sense to me that she'd give me these other drugs that make me walk around like a zombie. I'm so frustrated as to what to do from here. I live in Monmouth County as well so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I am wondering if you happened to see the same doc i did. I see you wrote "she" when referring to the doctor. I have no idea why it is such a problem to get xanax prescribed if it works for you. I have tried it all and nothing works well except xanax. If you aren't abusing them and aren't running out early then I just don't see the problem. Did you ever find a doc in Monmouth Co? I'm in the same area and still looking for another doctor

I believe if you see psychiatrist and explain your situation he or she will give you xanax. But having been through the xanax mill, I would certainly bring up the subject of moving to valium at some point. It's been my experience that Dr. are much more willing to write a script for valium than xanax. Xanax is a hot issue right now and new restrictions have been placed on doctor regarding writing scripts for it. Lastly, finding a good psychiatrist is like shopping for a used car, it sometimes takes time to find a good one. I live in Monmouth county and at one point, I was driving to Doylestown PA, just to see a psychiatrist that I felt knew what he was talking about. Over the years, I've found a good number of LOUSY psychiatrists. Good Luck

Re: EDDY (# 246)

I think we've all tried living our lives without them. For various reasons we have anxiety, disabling panic attacks, agoraphobia, etc....that in many cases has utterly destroyed our lives.Without benzodiazepines I never could have gotten married nor had a career, much less walked down the street or gone into a store. Yes, they are addictive, but would you tell a heart patient not to take his Beta blocker, or a diabetic to skip his Metaphormin? We are not talking about people who get anxious once in a while or even have a panic attack or two and think they know all about the condition. We are talking totally disabling anxiety that can be and is relieved by benzodiazopines...yes meditation 'helps' but does not cure....exercise "helps" but doesn't resolve the issue. Walk a mile in any of these peoples shoes THEN maybe lecture them about their medication being poison....but if you were like them...without medication...you couldn't walk that mile!.

Re: Richad (# 248)

Thank you for saying what my life has been and how xanax taken properly has saved my life. Disabling anxiety is no joke. You could be talking about me. You understand just like my retired dr did.
He told me after trying all the SSRI meds that did nothing to go on xanax or I would be weaving baskets. I was finally free living ..actually living just like everyone else. I donot abuse my medication. I am too smart educated and know its wrong. Thank you Richard for putting it in my words that I try to tell .

a psychiatrist that you will plan to see regularly and they can have your history etc., is more likely to prescribe xanax than another type of doctor. If needed and not abusing as you say you are not then i don't think a good psychiatrist will have a problem prescribing it to you responsibly with monthly follow up. thanks.

Hi how are, I am 26 years old and I see Dr. Russel Ferstandig in toms river new jersey on church rd/street. He is an amazing psychiatrist. He is not cheap however, monthly visits are 150 but he prescribes me 90 1 mg a day.. if you need more i am sure he would write for four mg a day. Look him up on google and you can probably get a same day appt. He listens, he's laid back and wants to help. He will also recommend Cymbalta as well. my email is {edited for privacy} if you have any questions. He is the first dr willing to look over my age and understand that i have had anxiety and depression since age 13.

Re: SayWhat (# 185)

What is one to do if Xanax is the only medication that works for their anxiety? I think the doctors should evaluate people better and maybe give them a drug panel to make sure they are not prescribing to people who will abuse them and only the people that really need them will get them. The doctor will be doing his job right and will not have to worry about losing his license. By the way, most doctors that are just prescribing people anything that they ask for, even if they don't need it, are only doing it to make more money. Of course you are going to expect addicts to try and go into doctors offices and get pills that get them high but it is the doctors job to look into what they are saying and make sure they are not giving them medications that will get them hooked because they should know better. That's what they get paid for. It is a real shame that almost everyone that I know has been affected by the opiate epidemic and the doctors were the ones that started by overprescribing them pills like Percocet and other medications like that and before you know it they are buying illicit drugs on the streets cause their doctor wont give them anymore and they are already hooked. They should be a shamed of themselves because they messed it up for people who really need it by overprescribing to people who do not.
