Just moved to Essex County N.J. and I'm looking for a Dr. to prescribe xanax without a problem. Can someone please direct me if they know of one. I'm sick of buying them off the street for $ 5.00 each

Hi Olly,

If you suffer from anxiety and need a Benzodiazepine class medication (like Xanax), your best bet it usually to see a psychiatrist, rather than a regular medical doctor. They are better trained in the types of medications that handle these problems and many GPs are reluctant to prescribe controlled substances due to abuse and the heavy regulations that they have to abide by from the government.

Some advice I can give you is to not specifically ask for any certain medication, when you see a new doctor. Make sure to transfer or take a copy of all your medical records with you. Then, the best approach is to discuss what has and hasn't worked for you in the past. Most doctors will take it under consideration, if they know it's worked for you, without causing any problems or severe side effects.

I hope this information helps!
