i just got put ativan, what would i go about doing to get a xanax scrict???

Ativan isn't all that bad, just stick with it a while, tell your doctor it worked well for a while, but it just isn't working as good anymore... He should either up your dose, or switch you.

This and view the post I'm going to make in the next 5 days or so. Really to tired to type half of it out now.

This should give you a good idea. You won't get shit in mg.'s, or for that matter, probably Xanax at all for GAD alone. Panic Disorder and Social Phobias w/ agoraphobia is where it's at.


In reality, I have pretty bad anxiety. I’m in a state of constant worry about even though I know it, bullshit that I can’t control, and that worrying about is pointless. I still worry. I’m either twisting a strand of hair, biting the insides of my mouth, biting a fingernail or cuticle, in some instances until pretty bad pain including bleeding occurs. I’m also constantly shaking my leg. I’m a very agitated person and it’s hard on my family, I have a real hard time not acting so too. I’m a terrible procrastinator. .5mg. of Xanax is placebo. I feel no better, it seriously takes a full milligram. That is at least what I’m after too. I’ve had panic attacks in the past, but haven’t had a very severe one in quite a while. I’m almost positive I have social anxiety disorder. Not really to bad though, I’ve kinda learned to work through it.

I’m back in school after about 5 years, I’m 21 and am S-T-R-E-S-S-E-D. I’m sure my symptoms alone wouldn’t be enough to get prescribed at least 4mg. of Xanax a day longterm.

Here’s some of the things I was thinking. First of all, the panic attacks are a must. I’m going to base them upon social anxiety. Tell him I’ve missed a bunch of classes because I was so worried about going in and being around all these people I had a panic attack. Tell him things like I sat in my car and breathed into a paper bag, really does work, and it was useless.

Tell him I can just not manage to talk to girls. This is actually true, theirs this REALLY HOT GIRL who sits next to me in WRIT and is very flirty. I feel so clammed up and nervous, hard to think straight, let alone have a good conversation. When I can squeeze my buddy out of one of his footballs, I feel great, have no problem talking to her.

Tell him I am in absolute dread over having another one, and I think it only makes it worse. No matter how hard I try I cannot take my mind off it though. My worry and especially about the p.a.’s makes it impossible for me to pay attention. I’ve needed to ask questions and just couldn’t manage to say something aloud, and as a result missed info.

Tell him in class I feel like everyone is looking at me or something. Based on no rational fear. Can’t think of anything that could of provoked this. I sit awake not being able to sleep or stay asleep at night thinking about how I’m going to have to go out and be in a classroom of people I don’t know, even on nights when I don’t have school the next day. I’ve had bad dreams related to this such as being in class naked, tripping and falling, and being humiliated.

I’m on Lamictal for BPD1 and am not depressed in the least bit anymore. Hopefully, let alone the nature of the symptoms, being on a type of antidepressant will put S.S.R.I.’s out of the question. I’m also on a low dose 25mg. of Seroquel for agitation and not being able to pay attention; anxiety. USELESS. Hopefully she doesn’t try upping that, I already have, useless.

If I can manage, I’m a pretty good actor, when I get into mentioning the panic attacks and social problems I’m going to try and start crying, I’m sure that couldn’t hurt. Can’t really think of shit else right now, will edit. What do you guys think, sound good? Also would it be a bad idea to tell him/her that my friend had started experiencing my same type of symptoms a while ago, and when I take one of his pills, a 1mg. Xanax before school, I can actually go into the class and half pay the fuck attention, and just feel like the old days? I’ve heard it is and it isn’t, so… I don’t plan on abusing these too, am just sick of being a worried, agitated asshole. I know a lot of the more specific symptoms of GAD Panic Disorder, and Social Phobia. Oh and thanks to my own dope fiend mom trying to get shit like this, she told my doctor years ago I was drug user. Say things like I’ll bring pills in at random to be counted, take blood levels, etc? I doubt I’ll get them next Thursday with my present doctor and I’m already to switch to a known…good doctor. Well I guess throw in anything you think would help, especially some bizarre, not to well known symptoms such as the dreams I mentioned.

FYI, while Xanax may have some legit clinical use, it sucks as a recreational drug.

It causes blackouts, it is addictive as hell, and the withdrawal symptoms are severe and long-lasting.

just find an online source

Agreed. By way of my brain chemistry, I don't understand, after much experimentation, how anyone considers benzo's anything but anxiolytic's and date rape drugs.
