Well to be honest, I wish my Doctors would be. I have all I can do to get 24 Alprazolam a month. And it is the one and ONLY thing that actually works for me when my anxiety is super bad. I have been dealing with it for 16 years and I know what I am doing with my meds. The Doctors around her will not easily prescribe them.

Zane, that is literally unheard of around here. I am from Wisconsin. I get 24 a month. They will not budge on it either. 😤

I wouldn't doubt it the stigma kills me around it to when new people I meet find out that I have to take "hard" drugs to function so many people call what I have to take serious drugs and I don't disagree but when u need them then it's different

For some reason klonopin low doses doesn't do much 20 mg kinda calms me down

I couldn't get a doctor to prescribe me ANYTHING for my anxiety. Not even as a PRN.

That's odd to me the only reason is if u where prone to medication abuse but I don't wanna assume u or ur back story most of the time if u drink even a little but they won't because the side effects become much greater

I'm hypervigilant about medication because I'm predisposed to addiction. (My mother was an alcoholic/addict for 24 yrs) I would ask about adding something to my regimen for anxiety and always got push back, both from my primary and my psychiatrist. I no longer live in that state, so I might be able to finally get something. But I asked for years before finally giving up.

The clinic I go to has a rule against prescribing them, so you can't get them at all there and I can't find anyone who will prescribe them here. I used to take clonazepam back in 2011 and it actually helped. But now I have to settle for Buspirone.

I also get 90 klonopin a month but I feel like .25 mg does absolutely nothing when I am actually anxious to the point of needing it

I can't find a dr who will prescribe alprazolam to me and it's so frustrating because it's what works best for me.

I do not personally recommend them because they're risky medication for mental disorders.

TeddyBoi i’m concerned that you’re on 8(???) narcotics in addition to klonopin… please follow medical advice and please tell your doctors ALL medications you’re taking. my mom died from respiratory failure caused by a dilaudid and xanax overdose. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹
