Say this: I want a Xanax prescription.

Tell them why you want one.

Tell the doctor you have anxiety.

Just be honest with your doctor about how you're feeling, and let HIM make the determination whether Xanax is the proper treatment for your condition. After all, just WHO is the professional, here?

I seriously hope that you really need this script and aren't trying to get it to get high. But if you really need the Xanax then you need to see a psychiatrist to be properly diagnosed.

If you really need it just be honest and tell him what's wrong. If he doesn't beleive you find another doctor. I fired my doctor a few months ago because of his blatant lack of concern about the problem I was having. Got a new doctor...no problem.

Definitly don't go in and say you need Xanax, that could be considered drug seeking behavior, and he'll never give it to you. If you really need an anxiety medication, maybe you should try something a bit milder than Xanax, like Klonipin, or Ativan. Something that won't cause you to black out, and embarrass yourself, or even hurt yourself..

If you truly have anxiety / panic disorder you just tell him the truth. Tell him what you are going through. If he blows you off, find another doctor !

xanax is usually prescribed for anxiety, and panic attacks. Panic attacks usually involve : sweating, nervousness, vomiting, heart palpatations, paranoia, flushing.

That's not supposed to be the way it works. I thought you took a medical problem to dr and he used his skill and training to devise a treatment plan for you. Last I heard, Xanax shortage is not a recognized medical condition

I was recently prescribe Alprazolam which is a G.E. brand for Xanax, My doctor only gives me 30 a month and they are a real life saver,but i wouldnt advise anyone to take this drug unless they have severe anxiety or panic attacks. I have been on benzodiazepines since i was 8 then weened of when i was 12 and after having a baby it brought my panic attacks back and of course by doctor tried something that wasnt so addictive but nothing seemed to help the insomnia except for the benzodiazepines. but my panic attacks arent frequet so they tend to last me awhile. just be honest with you doctor and if they are any good they will try to help you with you problem.

Xanax is used for anxiety. I am not sure how you could convince a doctor that you need Xanax. I have bad anxiety and I had attempted non medical ways of treating anxiety first, but it was only getting worse which was leading to panic attacks. I don't like taking medications because I don't like the feeling that I have to rely on them to live my day to day life. I went to the doctor and talked to her about it and she put me on Celexa, which is an antidepressant but it also used for treating anxiety. I stopped taking it after a month because it made me very tired and gave me mild headaches. I guess it just depends on how bad your anxiety is, that a doctor will decide to put you on Xanax. My doctor refused to put me on xanax because she said that Benzodiazepines can be very addicting and when trying to lower doses you can suffer from severe withdrawal symptoms.

Sounds like someone is addicted.

This is slightly off topic, but... You really don't want to be messing around with benzodiazepines. They are great at first, but your body will quickly develop a metabolic tolerance and you'll need more and more. And then things will get truly bad bad crazy. I'm not one of those Just Say No people. I don't care if you just want to get high. But honestly, you'd be much better off with vodka or heroin. Take it from someone who's been there and back many times. If you have a legitimate need for benzos, just explain it to a psychiatrist. Go to several if you have to.

I have anxiety, depression issues, anger problems, ETC... I have been taking XANS since 1998. I am 30 now. Its hard to get them now because of all the drug abusers out there! People who have these problems have to put up with BS to get what helps them. When I first started taking them, honestly I did abuse them. My issue is that I can't get a script of them anymore cause of all the XANAX IDIOTS. People give them a bad rep, but its not the pill its the ones who act stupid while on them. So now im supposed to just sit here doing yoga & meditation exercises to try to help... And all those other anxiety medications that do not work for shit... GIVE ME MY DAMN XANAX!!!!!

If you REALLY need it, you would know what to say to get it, you would just have to tell the truth, although, that sometimes isn't even enough. See, there's these idiots out there who think it gives them some kind of high feeling, that is ridiculous, as Xanax is basically a freaking sedative, it makes you tired, anyway, these idiots make it very difficult for people like me who may NEED the drug to function well in society to actually GET the drug. So tell the truth.

You just need to be truthful with your doc. If there are external reasons explaining why you think you need to be medicated (i.e. spouse is being deployed, credit-card debt, kids, school, and etc), then they probably will give you something to calm you down and they will want to "watch" you closely while you are on the medication. This means that you will have many appointments probably over the course of at least 6 months until you are at the point where you can safely be weaned off. If you are just looking for a high, I suggest you consult your local street pharmacist and let our doctors do their jobs for the people who REALLY need them.

wtf vodka or heroin? that's the worst advice I've ever heard... yeah benzos can and will pull you into a downward spiral but shit.. if there is anything more addictive than benzo it is opiates and/or alcohol. If you really want to get high from a minimal ammount of benzo just have a beer or two with one. benzos are alcohol soluble and will activate it in your stomach and you'll be feelin pretty good.

Just say "I heard about a drug called Xanax. Do you think that would work for me?" If not, you shouldn't use it because it can have some wierd effects on people that shouldn't be taking it. On a similar note, I was taking an anti-depressant once, and although it was supposed to help, it made everything worse and I couldn't concentrate, so I just stopped taking it and all was better.

find a "pain medication DR" usually called family health clinics and wierd of the wall names....pretty much located in ghettos and nasty strip malls, places you wouldn't look for a shit hole doctor office. anyway go in there...tell them you need them for driving, they'll tell you not to take them and drive....you say well i only take a little...one in the morning till i feel confident to start my day, then they'll look at you wierd and write you a damn script....i couldnt get them through a normal doctor either, i blacked out in blockbuster once( from a panic attack) and have blacked out other times as well, i get shakey and sometimes sweat, other times i just feel like i shot up meth, ppl and doctors have noted that it might be the fact i was on ritalin as a kid...no one knew the side effects back then. anyway thats one option...other then that....stop using drugs man, make your life better. stop being a loser and take some responsability for your actions...i hear about ppl getting f'd up and crashing, and killing all the time....xanex should not be taken lightly....i drank once with them and passed out throw up and luckly my friend was there to save me from drowning in my own vomit....i cant go out like that....im not a fucking rock star. be carefull
