I don't know if this is the right section but i'm going to have a psychiatrist appointment soon, like maybe tomorrow. Anyways i have some anxiety, although it is pretty minor i know the symptoms and i have it. Now i have tried most every drug at least once, and am not addicted to anything atm except weed (strong psychological addiction). So im not here to just get answers on how to score, im legit trying to find some help for my anxiety. Do i tell them i used drugs in the past or am currently using weed and a few things on the side. Or should i just lie completely about my drug usage and say all my symptoms of anxiety.I just don't want it to seem like im seeking out benzos, i am trying to get a script for benzos but i definitely do have anxiety.

You say you aren't trying to score, but finish your post with "I am trying to get a script for benzos but I definitely do have anxiety."
Sounds like you are trying to score to me. IF you do indeed have legitimate anxiety issues, then you need to be honest with the doctor. Going there and lying just so you can get some benzos is completely counter productive and does nothing to actually help towards resolving the underlying issues of WHY you have anxiety.
Most doctors don't just start you off on benzos; there are many other less addictive pharmaceuticals out there that they will most likely try first. Personally, it wasn't until 3 visits later that my doctor finally started me on klonopin.
I have had anxiety problems since I was 15, and before getting put on benzos I had tried other medications, as well as other non pill treatments such as therapy, CBT, breathing techniques, etc, until the conclusion was met that benzos were the most effective. I was aware of the potential addictive nature, but my anxiety can be so bad that the trade off is favorable in my case. I have been on them for 7 years and getting off them is a bitch. The withdrawals are much more difficult to handle for me than heroin withdrawals.
You can rationalize in your head all that you want, but you seem young, you seem like you like to experiment, and most likely have an addictive personality. Coupled with the fact that it seems like you just want to go to the doctor to score benzos, and aren't putting your desire to understand and cope with the underlyign psychological reasons/causes to your anxiety first, benzos may not be the best choice for you.
Furthermore, it is specifically stated in the rules that we aren't here to tell you what to say to your doctor in order to obtain certain prescriptions.

IME, it depends on how you tell them. I said I was depressed and had a lot of anxiety but that I was also snorting Adderall every day. They just told me to stop that and I seemed to be gradually climbing the scale of drugs they try. I didn't stick around with the appointments till I got benzos, but I didn't want benzos anyway just someone to talk to. Shortly thereafter I found opiates which "cured" my anxiety and now have a crippling addiction.

IMO, you're making a giant mistake. Benzos aren't a long term solution. Trust me, the anxiety you have right now pales in comparison to the ANXIETY you will have when withdrawing from benzo use. Benzo use is not sustainable, they aren't like suboxone which you can stay on long term no problem. Google long term benzo use, then google benzo withdrawal. Benzos are not a class of drugs you want to mess around with. If you HAVE to be medicated, you're better off with an SSRI, although many have experienced bad effects with these as well (just not quite as bad as benzos).
^Just read his post, but brokedownpalace explained it quite well. The withdrawal is arguably worse than heroin.
