Didn't get Benzos from my psych

[CantDoIt]

I went to the psych yesterday and unfortunately I wasn't able to get Benzos. I was prescribed Zoloft, respritol, and a vitamin.

I didn't really expect her to give me the meds I wanted right away though so I will continue trying. I really want those things. I would want them even if I was doing N.

We're any of you guys successful and if so, how?

Also interested to hear strategies to get good meds prescribed.

I suspect 'doctor shopping' may be necessary anyone know how to do so cheaply in the US?

A "good" psychiatrist knows that benzos are only prescribed in special cases, like when the issues seem chronic. You've got to make them understand that your symptoms are chronic and getting worse fast. From what I've seen, people only get benzos when the situation is totally out of the psychiatrist's control.

Well, those things are true...
