Benzos how to get a prescription for lorazopam?

[transition213]

hello, so this year for school my parents put me on adderal (20mg) to help my grades. I got straight A's for the first month but then i had to stop taking the adderal because i got so anxious and depressed whenever i would come down from it. My grades suffered from this so i told my doctor that i would like to try something new, he gave me a prescription for vyvanse which gave me a less harsh comedown but still made me extremely anxious about stuff, so i stopped taking that as well. recently i experimented with a friend's lorazopam for recreation purposes (i took 2mg) and enjoyed the feeling of being relaxed and care free. about a week later i was stressed out about some girl to the point where i couldn't study, play sports or even be happy. I took 1 of my friends extra .5 mg lorazopam pills, and felt amazing. not only was i able to get my hmwk done but i felt really happy for the first time in awhile (the kinda happy you get when your a kid and you don't have any worries) I noticed that i may actually have anxiety because i was much more calm around other people, i really didn't care that much about what people thought about me, and i was extra social and much easier to talk to. I told my mom that i think i need to be on anti anxiety instead of adhd medication so she told my doctor and he recommended zoloft. When i asked my friend about it he said that it's shit and all it does is make you feel worse unlike the lorazopam. I told my mom that i wanted to take lorazopam and she told me to call the doctor, i am planning on doing this but i do not know how to convince him without him thinking i just wanna use it to get high. any tips? thanks!!

Also what is the difference between lorazopam and other anti anxiety drugs? do they all make you feel the way it did for me? thanks!

We can't tell you what to say to your doctor to get prescribed certain meds. Your best bet is to be honest with him, as you were here:

Lorazepam is similar to other benzos. The various benzos will differ in duration as well as properties (anxiolytic, hypnotic, muscle relaxant, etc) but are all relatively similar. Other anti-anxiety meds like SSRIs such as zoloft and paxil are different in that they take a few weeks to take effect, and they work on you all day as opposed to benzos that just work on you as you dose them until the wear off.

I have to close this though since we can't tell you what to say to your doctor to get scripted certain meds.
