I explained to the woman im on the verge of loosing a lot around be bcause my constant dark anxiety over me, it's crippling me every single day, i explained to het that Anti-Depressants and Counseling never helped me with my panic attacks and only Alcohol really did, the tried to put be back on the AD's but i said is there no other choice like an Anti-Anxiety and she said "Thers no drug that just deals with Anxiety, you'll just gave to go to counselling! how the hell do people get these scripts

Giving up :(
 
find a different doctor. some have either a stigma against anti-anxiety meds, or have no experience with the treatment of chronic anxiety.
 
Been there brother, if you're anything like me you're shit outta luck. They refused to assign me anything stronger than stool softeners (yeah, seriously). Couple months passed, had a breakdown of sorts and got sectioned. they threw the fucking things at me then but by that point I didn't want to even think about going back into a doctors office, even if to pick up a script.

It's a nightmare in london, at least. Even when ya do get benzos its never any of them fancy yank xannies or k pins, just valium. Hey Ho.
 
In the UK, it's exceptionally hard to get benzos prescribed. And if you do they will give you a two to four week script max. They are just really wary about giving them out.

when it comes to doctor prescribed meds, I am totally jealous of the USA healthcare system.
 
Agree. I'd love to get ahold of some Ritalin.... I've been dabbling in speed for the last 6 months or so as a tool to be productive rather than just a drug... Worked a okay until this latest batch I got- paid almost double normal rate for an o off my usual guy for stuff that makes me queasy and seems to lose effectiveness after about 2 hours. Sigh.
 
Next time try holding off on telling your doctor about using alcohol to help you. No one will prescribe drugs of potential abuse to a potential abuser, seems irrational in your situation, but worth a try.
 
You have to be very subtle with UK doctors; they have police mentalities when it comes to drug seeking behaviour-they can just sniff it out, and they'll rarely prescribe "high risk drugs", going in there saying you've got anxiety won't get you anything, except maybe some SSRI's (they love prescribing those..)

Just wait till socialized medicine kicks in. Once the government is paying for medications I think a lot of people will be taken off meds and new prescriptions are going to be a real fucking headache. At least for the good drugs. The media will constantly run stories about how people are taking too much meds you know how it goes.
 
Removed advice about RC benzos.

Being in the UK it's had to get help with mental health issues, even for something minor such as anxiety. Getting CBT counselling is also difficult. Unless you can show you are a danger to others, then you are unlikely to get any help. The is the bottom line, I'm afraid.

Try meditation. And a good diet.

^^ this. Plus did you REALLY give counselling / behavioural techniques a good try? In addition with 30mgs of Mirtazapine daily & changes in my diet, I found it really effective and I had been suffering from horrible anxiety for years. I understand how benzos give you that instant relief, but like the masking of pain with opioids, the best thing to do is address the root of the problem.
 
I'm prescribed 600mg lyrica (pregabalin) a day for anxiety. On the nhs this is usually the best thing they'll prescribe long time, I hate the ADs as well.
 
To the OP: I'm afraid that you gave too much "HI I'M SEEKING BENZOs" signals =/
When I read your thread, I thought "man he is doing everything wrong..." no offence. And you're probably better off benzos anyway.

Here in France they are notorious to give benzos very easily. Right now I'm on 40mg Diazepam/day, + 2mg Lormetazepam/day. (also, 2mg Subutex) (I usually abuse them the first few days, then take 20mg Valium/day)

First time, 16 years old, my parents took me to a doctor because I had really bad insomnia+anxiety, boom a script of bromazepam. Didn't know what it was at the time of course.
Since I moved a lot, I encountered many docs/psy and almost all of them were pro-benzos, and gave me RX that I could use 3 months in a row (does that make sense? We call it "renouvelable" in French).

But France is the country with the most benzo addicts, and this addiction is no joke.
Sure, I love my benzos/opis, but they are messing with my studies and my memory isn't as good as it used to be.

The best thing I ever did to calm down my anxiety was to stop smoking weed. At least not everyday like I used to.
Once a month on average... and exercise. but I digress.

Stay away from benzos, on the long run it's not worth it.
