Help Benzos

[L0nely]

How do you get benzos prescription? Not from psychiatrist though, I don't have money for that and I don't want my family to know. I know you could get it from family doctor but honestly how? What do I even say for them considering prescribing it to me?

bumping this because I'd like to know too

Same OP.

I tried to get from my doctor, but was just given Vistaril. I explained I have anxiety. I've been diagnosed with cPTSD, so that helps in this case.

I have an appointment next week. I'd appreciate advice for trying to say the meds given weren't helpful and try to get benzos.

Benzos are mostly used for anxiety and insomnia. Just a bit of warning though, they can be habit forming and at times difficult to ween off of (if you do choose). Also, it's rare for them to be used alone to ctb successfully.

Good point. Personally I'm interested in them as an extra for another method and si issues.

You would have to tell them that you have excruciating amounts of anxiety, to the point that you feel you can't function. Maybe create a scenario where you can't avoid the what is triggering your "anxiety". Even then though, first line treatments for anxiety ( at least where I live) are SSRIs/buspirone and doctors are super wary of prescribing benzos. in my country, doctors are regulated and can get in trouble if they prescribe to many, so they usually don't. Other countries are much more lenient though. I would suggest the dark web potentially if you can't? or maybe alcohol if you can't get your hands on any?

I think they are not as easy to get because they are addictive

Maybe it's different in certain countries, but in my country I just went to a walk in clinic and told them I have severe crippling anxiety (which I do) and have tried everything else to no avail, and would like to try some sort of benzodiazepine to see if they help. I didn't care what type of benzo, so the Doctor gave me Clonazepam.

I had to go get my blood tested to make sure I don't have specific medical conditions that Benzos aren't good for.

Honestly they're a miracle drug for anxiety, I just wish they were like an SSRI where you could take them everyday without developing addiction.

I've thought this through. In the case that I'll have to get benzos I've considered handing over a hand written note detailing my symptoms (lack of sleep, panic attacks, inability to properly work) in person and crying while the doctor reads it. I do have social anxiety to an extent and a very real fear of talking about my anxiety and depression. That mixed with my job being midnight shift, I might be able to string this half lie into a convincing act.

I can't say I've tried it, that's just the plan if I do.

As the other person - they're part of my ctb plan but that's good to know regardless in case someone here was interested in OD on benzo

 

[piss]

depends which country in mine it's really tough unless they have tried you on many other meds first (usually antidepressants and/or antipsychotics) and then maybeee you'd get prescribed some. but that's just my experience and to me doctors have not been helpful; the meds i have used that have helped me, i have acquired in untraditional ways. now, benzos are really easy to find on the DW so i'd recommend that. of course, know the risks that they are not pure and could be mixed with other things, and that benzos are highly addictive, so the choice is yours.

I got them prescribed for anxiety and panic attacks. I'd give them a detailed description of panic attack symptoms (look up beforehand) and tell them you can't leave the house anymore / can't function.
