I got the anxieties... And I'm completely socially inept. A common example being; I'm sitting in class and I'm called upon to answer a simple question, and I freeze the fuck up. My mind goes blank and I either can't answer at all or I mumble something lame and or incorrect. At this point I'm fucking hyped up on andrenaline like I was just in a fist fight, and I'm completely unable to concentrate on anything but my rapid hearbeat for what seems like forever, thus missing the next few minutes of lecture. I could write all fucking day about all kinds of anxiety related bullshit, this was just a little background info... My question is, if I were to seek psychological help and explain all this, could I get some fucking meds? Not like bullshit anti-depressants but some tranquilizing benzo shit. (I've also got some bitchin insomnia, many a time have I zombied through a school day after not getting a fucking second of sleep{Fuck yeah, zombie can be a verb.}) I figure they'll just tell me to eat better, get more exercise although I do and seem to still suffer these unfortunate annoyances...

^ lol that's pretty far out dude

hahaha... I'm a wreck man, not all the time... I have a small but close circle of friends I can chill with, may just be a little bipolar or some shit... In fact, I might just be exaggerating a bit in hope of some free drugs...

lol..... go the docs get decent shit for not alot or free good luck man

If you truely have a problem just keep going to the doctar until they find something that works. Don't expect tranqs right away but if you keep at it, eventually you find something that works.

You usually have to be older. When I was a minor and I got hurt and complained of anxiety I got Motrin and Buspar. Now that I am in my mid 20's I can get OC and Valium just by going in and asking for them. Getting the 1st script is the hardest part, but once you get it, you can bring your medical files to any other doctor to show them, and you can get what you want easily.

Proving you need the medicine can be difficult, but once you do that, its easy from there.

my friend has been prescribed lorazepam/ativan for social anxiety (its pretty mild i would say) and hes only 15

im sure you can get something worthwhile if you go to the right guy and say all the right things ;)

Nah they'll give you benzos. just tell them that and they will throw benzos at you, trust me. they gave me .25 mg xanax for mentioning slight anxiety.. not like that's good, but i was there for primarily depression and sleep problems and they just hooked it up.

edit: oh forgot to mention, i was 15 at the time (17 now) and actually ended up in the psychiatrists for abusing xanax.. that's irony for ya. those 30 were gone so fast, and my mom takes my script every month now..

its frowned upon, but it does happen. you have a shot.

im still under 18 (only slightly) and my doc still wont prescribe benzos. e

ven before i had a drug using history, when i just started taking meds for anxiety, the first thing he said was "i wont prescribe benzos for minors".

go figure, i can buy them cheaper off the street then id pay w/o insurance anyway

I complained about legit insomnia to my doc since I was 15-16. A little after I turned 18 I mentioned it later at the end of an appointment for my neck that I was having problems sleeping and he wrote a script for Ativan no questions asked. It's risky giving kids addicting drugs.

in response to those who say they won't give it to minors:

I did this at a Christian psychiatry clinic and got xanax for minorly mentioning anxiety. i'm sure they won't mind giving you low doses.

By the time I was 16 I had been on Valium, Ativan, Klonopin, Xanax, and Xanax XR, sometimes more that one at a time.

At 17 I was getting 100 counts of 2 mg Klonopins a month.

4 years later and I'm on felony intensive probation with 9 month's time served and 3 A.A. meetings a week.

Ho ho...

Thanks for all the help guys, I guess it all depends on who I see about this, and how well I explain myself. If anyone was wondering, I'm sixteen... And I've got a friend a year older than me who was recently prescribed (by the same doctor I see) Ativan for insomnia/anxiety... And that's with the advisement of a psychiatrist after a few months seeing a shrink. I think that's where I'll start, rather than going straight to the doc. I have to say though... this is partly me legitimately seeking help with my psychological state of mind and part curious interest in the world of chemicals. I've always had a fascination with changing my chemistry and altering my perceptions, for better or worse. A nice benzo calm during my schooling hours would really help me relax and have a little easier time socializing. (I'll learn from your mistakes, and I won't abuse this shit... too often anyways, I've got some willpower... I'm thinking, if I'm fortunate to score something decent I'll take it when I need it and take breaks from it once and a while... and then when I feel like really numbing out I'll catch up on my dosage and eat up that extra bit.)

benzo prescriptions for the underaged?

Y'know, dude... if you don't treat her like shit, you can usually just point out "I'll go to jail if anyone finds out."

You don't have to roofie the poor girl, dude...

It all depends on what kind of doctor you have. Some of em hand out pills like candy other won't give you a tylenol 3 when you've been shot. I got one that prescribed pretty much anything, still have em:)

I am not reading all that

But i was only 15-16 when i got prescribed xanax

It was only the weak low milligram ones but still it was xanax at 16

So you might be prescribed all the bullshit 1st like zoloft paxil lexapro before you get something good though

Y'know, dude... if you don't treat her like shit, you can usually just point out "I'll go to jail if anyone finds out."

The voice of experience eh? ;)

Yeah you have typical social anxiety. Should get help one way or another.

The doctors in America seem to hand out benzos all the time, but here in the UK they are only given short-term in most cases. Probably says something about your private health service and pharmaceutical corporations.

To be honest there isn't a problem-free chemical solution for your problem -- it's a choice of either getting rid of the anxiety and dealing with addiction, memory-loss, lack of inhibitions, etc., or taking an SSRI that is arguably addictive too and isn't likely to be the sort of solution you look for in a drug (i.e. you need to put a lot of effort in yourself in therapy type stuff).

If you have any plans of completing education, benzos aren't the answer. You won't really learn while you're on 'em. That said you might want to keep a few around for recreational/"as-needed" purposes.

If you don't like the idea of SSRIs, there are some drugs you can find on the internet that could help. Kava, 5-HTP, selegiline, GHB, and more. Obviously, some of those are addictive too.

Well, I've been prescribed benzos for nearly 6 years, since I was 14... but yes, the older you get, the more likely you are 'finished experimenting' and therefore more likely to get the good scripts ;).

ive gotton xanax and ativan and been offered klonopin underage.

this is the problem with our society today. You cant just take a pill to fix your problems and cope with everyday stress. Everyone one has stress and alot people get nervous speaking up in class and when meeting new people.. You didn;t even descirbe an anxiety disorder. benzos are meant for short term treatment while you figure out what the actual problem is and work it out. Yes some do end up taking them long term if that is all that works

You obviously don't really have a major problem since you stated "if I explain this can I get some fucking mmed" If you really truly had anxiety and panic attacks you would just want to find away to feel better you wouldnt ask" can I get some meds" Obviously you have a drug problem and benzos areonly going to make that worse. You are going to develope worse coping skills than your already have. Benzo treatment, dependency, and addiction is serious shit and you do not want to mess with it trust me.

Benzos do not promote good sleep the only sedate you. Once you stop oyur insomnia will rebound and be far worse.
Once your on benzos you cannot use them recreationally either ,it will just fuck with the therepeutic dose required for antianxiety.

Yeah you have typical social anxiety. Should get help one way or another.

.

You have no potsition to be diagnosing this kid.

You sound like you could use some therapy at the most, not benzos.

IF some doctor does give them to you don't abuse them. You have no idea what you'd be getting yourself into. You do know that you can die from benzo withdrawal right? Not saying it happens to everyone but it's still something to think about.

I was hospitalized for dilly withdrawal last night. They gave me some things to help "cope" including some benzos.Sure they work wonders for panick attacks, but I mean REAL panick attacks. What you're describing is not a panick attack. I'd rather go through the withdrawal without them than risk gettin fucked up.

Just something to think about.

You have no potsition to be diagnosing this kid.

Obviously nobody should rely on the internet for any sort of psychiatric diagnosis, kind of goes without saying. I just said what I think this guy probably has from a paragraph of text.

OP should see a psychiatrist.

Benzos are talked about as the cure-all for anxiety symptoms on the internet, so it's not really surprising people jump to them as the first option. I know I did. Doesn't mean there is no problem.

If you have a decent doctor though, you would never get prescribed any sort of benzo unless for 1-2 weeks or if you were pretty old and had tried absolutely everything else.

Benzos are not a cure. yes they will stop a panic attack but they dont fix the problem. usually people get rebound anxiety.

You are quite right, which is why many doctors will simply refer to benzos as 'bandaids'; for they do not solve the underlying problem as in why you are having anxiety and/or panic attacks.

Either way, they worked for me, but im addicted to them for life. So its kind of like a big lose> win. The OP obvisouly has no idea what he is getting himself into to, just looking to score a cheap high. You can spot these type of users by just looking at the fact that he is not willing to try any other type of medication which may actually help with his so called 'anxiety', but he wants to go straight to benzo therapy. I hope for your sake that your doctors are not stupid enough to perscribe you jack shit; you need therapy kid, not addictive medications.

Benzos are GOOD for you!

You're right on everything here, but I've found just being able to be in the calm state of mind benzos give you helps heaps. Obviously, that might not be true for everybody, but it works / worked for me.

Oh you are totally correct with that statement, the only problem is that calm state does not last forever. And pretty soon, you need more and more of your choice benzo just to reach that calm state. It really is like a two-edged sword, but this is why benzos are key for short term treatment; while under short term benzo treatment, you and your doctor can be looking for long term treatment, with the complete peace and mind and total relaxtion that benzos offer you ;)
