all depends on the doctor. Just be honest about the panic attacks and symptoms. tell them you have tried other things and coping mechanisms which havnt shown any promis. then say you want to try a benzo (xanax is one of the worst you can ask for though since its very short half life and very fast onset/strength make it the most addictive... try klonopin or valium first in my opinion)

Ive been thru it all myself. It took a long time, Dr. keep trying all the usual meds they try to push on you. they never worked for me. I would end up in the ER. I thought I was having a heart attack. I went out there so often that finally a Dr. asked me if I had ever tried xanax. He gave me script for ten pills and it was like magic. I had less side effects, it was just all around the best one I had tried. I talked to my Dr. about how well they worked and he agreed to keep me on xanax. Theres no easy way you just have to jump through all there hoops and then if that dont work get a different pill pusher.
I agree there are a lot of pill pushers !
my doc finally gave me xaxan but started me out on o.25 2 times aday that wasnt working for me ,i had alot of grief in my life that i still cant get over then he finally up me to 0.5 2 times a day ,i still need to be upped but he refuses to do that refered me to a phys clinic when they flat out took me i will not give you xaxan or klopin so i guee i'm going back to my doc.now days it's so hard to get narcotics for ppl who really need them.good luck and keep tryin ... angeep
