Basically as i go into adulthood (i'm 18) my brain chemistry is getting more and more anxious and depressed. The past 6 months have only been going downhill.
My anxiety is off the charts, no matter what i'm doing. I'm always worrying or stressing over something that normal daily activities no longer interest me. Such as watching tv, gaming, or hanging out with friends.
My ocd is also a terribly annoying thing, which is basically constant anxiety throughout the day.
I'm depressed as fuck, have a suicide plan and everything thought out (NOT saying i'm going to do it - just i've been thinking LOTS about it lately) and rarely am entertained by anything anymore.

Basically - i sit at home and refresh facebook and bluelight constantly lurking. I'm stressed as fuck even over little things. it feels like it's piling up.

But then i started reading up about what xanex feels like and how it works.. I'm thinking it definitely sounds like a miracle pill which makes it feel like i won't be able to get it. I'm bi-polar as fuck and have mood swings constantly, and stopped taking my SSRI's weeks ago.

If i tell my psychiatrist all this do you think she'll give me xanex? and do you think it would be a good idea to bring up xanex on my own? or would that make me look like a drug seeker?
 
Its a miracle pill for a short amount of time until you become horribly physically dependent and the use actually exacerbates your symptoms over time. Its most appropriate in the short term to manage some symptoms while you find other ways to manage or treat the anxiety (I'm partial to CBT).

Really the only advice that we can give you here is to speak with a physician and be open to their suggestions. If you go in their an ask for alprazolam, you'll probably be tossed as a drug seeker so all you can do is honestly express your symptoms and try what they suggest.

I want to strongly advise you not to take a purely pharmacological approach though. There are so many limitations to this and its not really addressing the problem, just covering it up so you become dependent.

For these reasons, I'm going to have to close this. The only advice we can give you is to be honest with your doctor about your symptoms and take his/her advice.

If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me.
