Faking symptoms to get a *legit* prescription for Xanax is *usually* a drawn out process...It took me two years to get my doctor to finally give me Xanax...A year and a half of it to get me to .25mg 2x a day, and another 6mo. to get me to .5mg 2x a day.
Read up on the symptoms. Learn what it's used to treat...
Keep in mind your 'anxiety' is acute, not a constant problem.
Your doc will probably start you on some SSRI...for me I went from Paxil to Celexa to Zoloft...the he finally agreed to try the combination.
Most importantly, when he/she prescribes you the SSRI, *take it and be happy*...what you do with it is up to you...
Go back every [x] months and complain that it's not working...read up on the side effects of your SSRI...complain of those uncomfortable side effects.
The younger you are the more difficult (esp. if you're a male) it is going to be to get a script for Benzo's...I know of one Bluelight woman who got a script for .5mg Xanax *very* quickly...I think it may have even been her first time... THIS IS VERY RARE!
Don't go in asking for it by name...complain of the symptoms...take what he gives...and work your way up.

The easiest way to cop a benzo is to start on an SSRI but complain it makes you nervous and edgy ... getting a benzo by itself isn't that easy, but getting one to negate the anxiety caused by the SSRI is rather common - you might not get Xanax, probably something longer acting like Klonopin at first..

y'all are funny. speedy, wtf would you want to spend money on a Dr visit, a scrip, then start taking SSRIs which, in all likelyhood, will permanently fuck with your synaptic wiring...when all you want is a short-acting benzo?
here's a clue: ask for the drug you want. dont be afraid to appear well informed about indications, side effects and reasons you personally dont want to take SSRI's.
dont be afraid to disagree with your doctors and challange their suggested course of treatment - dont you know your body better than they do?
case in point, last week i went to the doctor, told her the following (the truth in my case) - i often fly overseas for work, and get acute anxiety attacks when i am not "driving," i wanted something to "knock me out so that i dont hear the screaming baby nor smell the sweaty fatman in the next seat - and that would wear off in a few hours with no hangover," in other words, shorter halflife than a Valium. i then mentioned i heard Xanax is a good choice, asked about Valium dose equivalency, and requested the 2mg tabs. ahh, the delicious U94's....
unless your doctor is a total fascist, or you are a total junkie-lookin' sad sack, you should have no problems- worked for me on 3 continents so far...

Is that a joke or are you serious? You know your body better then the doctor? Tell him you fly overseas and cop benzos? HUH?! No, speed is correct with his advice, but I think you read it wrong - you TAKE the SSRI's, as in ACCEPT THEM and TELL THE DOC that you're taking them - hell, you can throw the fucking script away on your way out, but if you accept these meds it does a few things -
1) Shows you're willingness to 'get better' and NOT cop drugs... if you shoot down everything EXCEPT controlled substances, this is the OBVIOUS mark of a drug seeker ..
2) Justifies your claims of anxiety, as SSRI medications are WELL KNOWN for inducing anxiety - to which the TEXT BOOK FIX is to supplement the SSRI medication with a benzo - no, not a SHORT ACTING one (read: Xanax) but once you start with one benzo, you have your foot in the door and can switch with a good deal of ease ..
3) Gets your charts started.. you don't dance in and expect to start with a short-acting benzo, this takes some history to build to - remember, it's not a 'first line' medication, so you need adocumented history of trying those medications that ARE 'first line'...
The entire notion of comming off as well-informed works if you're older, or if you have a documented history in trying to manage these conditions - a 17 y/o male who walks into the doctors and starts asking for Xanax is going to do more harm then good..
You can challenge your doctor WITHIN REASON - and rambling off some conspiracy theory about Prozac while singing the songs of zee-bars is NOT within the bounds of reasonable..
The airline-induced-anxiety has ALWAYS been an easy way to cop a SHORT SUPPLY of benzos - you will have even better luck given the recent terrorist events... but no, 2mg Xanax tabs are NOT COMMON - your doctor is the exception, not the rule..

Phreex,
totally serious, so far its worked like a charm in the US (cali and colorado), Australia and France. Didnt even need a script in Russia, Vietnam, Thailand or India.
first time i tried the direct request, i was 23, i am 34 now so perhaps age does matter.
and i agree with all of your points - yes, you could go about it like that, but it just seems like an unnecessary Rube Goldberg complications when all you want are some benzos.
yes, asking for them outright would mark you as a drug seeker, but that fact is established apriori, when you walk into an MD's office and ask for pharmaceutical help in managing a condition, and you are seeking..legal..drugs from a...licensed medical professional...unfortunately, its just that the same professional, under the current paradigm, gets a higher payout for writing panaceal SSRI scrips than he does for our beloved Pharmacia&Upjohn product.
again, i think you are right, getting benzos in light of what went down last week is bound to get alot easier, what with all the uncontrolled panic attacks and fear of leaving the house, going to tall buildings, etc...

I think the tactics are nothing more than playing odds and your presentation.
I have a really bad cough right now. Tommorrow I'm going to the doctor. I'm going to say my old prescription of cough syrup with codeine hasn't helped much. Like the past few years in a row, I'm expecting to get cough syrup with vicodin.
My current psychiatrist and my past one both then to listen to me and give me whatever I want. Both of them know of my LONG drug history. Infact I think they both believe(d) that the drugs I was getting to them were inferior and I wouldn't be getting anything recreational out of them anyways. Things do get easier over time, though, like everyone else has said. At this point I can ask my psychiatrist for just about anything within reason and she'll write me a script. Because I'm lazy and never make appointments because it's very difficult to schedule anything within a month and get a time to get in, so she prescribes me HUGE supplies of whatever. More or less I prescribe myself whatever I want and she signs the script for me. She knows I know more about drugs than she does in most cases and she knows I know my body. Since I've seen her all aspects of my life have improved and I do get something out of my scripts more than recreational fun.
The only time I had a difficult time was when I was having severe back pains and I got a script for naproxen and some sugar pills called Robaxin that were suppossed to be muscle relaxers. I went back 2 times and was told to increase the doses. I also was being a pussy and being vague and just saying I wanted the pain to stop. I am once again having similar problems, yet they are all over and not just my back. I have an appointment tommorrow and I've had symptoms for god knows how long. Believe me, I'm going to bitch and they're going to give me something that works tommorrow and I'll raise all fucking holy hell if they don't. I pay to get adequate treatment, and the fuck if they don't give it to me.
Part of my ability to get what I want is probably I go for things I really truly need that will truly correct my problem if nothing else is working, I just shoot higher and get something stronger than I'd really need, but not out of reason.
And especially with something like trying to get benzos over SSRI's. You've got to be kidding if rejecting SSRI's wouldn't be a good idea. First of all, on a realistic level, SSRI's really DON'T help and often make more problems which is why they try to switch you around with 5 million different types until you get the "right one" which is totally bullshit. Say you want something short term that will just take care of the problem. Then work it from there.
Methods like this work for me. They work for my friends. They can't hurt to try. There are always other doctors.
But for anyone, evaluate if you started having symptoms before you really got into drugs in the first place and figure out if your illegal drug use is contributing. If it is, you're pretty lame for trying to get legal drugs as well that aren't going to end up helping your problems either.

Soviet,
thanks for expounding on the idea. funny that, the only time i've ever had trouble getting the med i wanted was when i broke my leg and the bastrd ortho surgeon said that given i dragged myself in, showing good pain tolerance, he wouldn't give me anything stronger, than, get this, ibuprofen, 1,200 mg

I'm English but live in Poland. I just went to a private clinic here in Warsaw and said that I had been prescribed some Xanax for acute anxiety but when coming back from the UK to Warsaw I had left my pills in the UK. Couldn't trust the post office to get the pills to me and it would take 10 days even if they did get here. Said that I'd been given "Either the 1 or 2 mg kind, can't remember which". Walked out with a script for 60 of the 1mg pills.
I wonder if a similar scam would work in the US? If you are in Miami go to a private doctor and give an address in Washington, ask for Xanax. Probably wouldn't work but why are you troubling the doctor for Xanax when it is so easy to get without a script? (And if you don't know how I'm not telling you!)

As I said, there area number of varriables with this... MANY DOCTORS WILL NOT SCRIPT A BENZO ASA FIRST LINE MED, ESPECIALLY FOR A YOUTH .. it depends on your doctor - I agree, for acute anxiety a benzo is *THE* answer... sadly I dropped out of pre-med so what I think doesn't mean dick ..
If yer doc gives you an SSRI, then you have two choices -
1) Refuse to take it and demand a benzo - this CAN work, but there is a GREATER chance of it NOT working - if you request a benzo by name, there is a good chance the doctor will mark you as a scripter ..
2) Take the SSRI, then call to complain of increased anxiety - this is a MUCH BETTER IDEA because it shows you're willingness to treetyour condition, and ALSO justifies your claims of anxiety ..
YMMV .. try whatever you want, I am just speaking of my experience...

Actually, my girl has had a script for Xanax since she was like 13. She is 18 now and just got the 1 mg's....all she had to do was complain of anxiety attacks and they gave her 0.5mg like 5 years ago, no SSRI or nothing. It really just depends on the doc.
I would actually recommend seeing a psychiatrist for this rather than a regualr M.D.
