Ok, lets say a, um, friend of mine smoked way too much weed while exercizing bad judgement while crashing at the end of a 4 day meth binge. This resulted in a bad panic attack where he thought he was dying and had no ability to think rationally.
Since he had a doc appointment in 2 days anyway, he told the doc about it and see what he could get (leaving out the part about the weed and the meth binge). The doc said call back if he had any more, so he waited a week and called back. The result: a script for 15 .5mg xanax and a follow up appointment in a week.
So the question is, whats the best way to milk this for the max amount of pills without ending up talking to some stupid shrink about the panic attacks? Oh btw, a month or so before this he went in and got SSRIs for depression due to being out of a job for a few months so its not like it came out of nowhere.
 
I have been over this too many times...
You're on the SSRI, so claim it helps with your depression but you find it produces anxiety, you cant sleep, you get nervous, etc... tell him how the Xanax "balanced it out" and cross yer fingers!
 
Hey PhreeX, how long would you advise riding this out. If he gives a 30 day supply, do you go in at the end and say 'wow, i'm all better' and thank god you got anything? It seems docs are paranoid about leaving people on benzos or opiates so my umm friend doesnt want to push it.
 
Ride it out as long as you can. Like Phreex said. He is on the SSRI and it's working wonders, but he needs something for the anxiety which is becoming a problem. Dr's don't like handing out benzo's for long turn because of the dependency that builds. Some Dr's view them as just pure evil tranqualizers and will not give them out. This Dr might compliment the SSRI with the benzo for the duration of the SSRI. See what he does.
 
As cipher said, it depends on the doctor.. if you got a 30-day supply then go back and tell yer doctor how this just solved all your problems, balanced your taxes, and even gave slow oral to your wife - be blunt, ask if you could take this medication on a regular basis.. your doc might be cool and say "y0, ok man, here you go", in which case you DO NOT evne think of trying to increase the dose for a GOOD few months .. or your doctor might move toward an SSRI - this also works for you in that you will take it (and not complain about the benzos, remember, you're clueless, you think Prozac will help you if your doctor said it would) .. now in a few weeks call back and give the line about the SSRI producing more anxiety - since you were already scripted a 30 day supply of benzos you can always say "honestly, it's not that I am depressed, I just have anxiety and the [benzo] took care of that perfectly" ..
You might also get a referal to a psychitrist, but I am guessing you will have good luck because your doctor gave you a 30-day supply of Xanax to begin with .. most doctors are not as understanding..
