brettonkn...I have ADHD and both of my parents have anxiety. Although Im not diagnosed with anxiety i scored a 21 on the HAM-A and my mind is always racing. I figured I was just stuck like that but one day, last week, my friends father gave me 1mg of alprazolam because I was freaking out about tests and being late and had an asthma attack. After I took that pill though it was like everything cleared up. I could concentrate and breath and just hear myself think. I want to ask my doctor about getting this prescribed. but I don't want to sound like Im just trying to score drugs. Especially since I'll be seeing my doctor for the first time. Any tips?
Obtaining alprazolam prescription?

just tell them all the stress you were suddenly under and you lost control and the dad was worried about you (dont use names though). when were you diagnosed with ADHD? since alot of the symptoms overlap it might be miss diagnosed if it started around your teens. loss of concentration, jitteryness, fear of losing control, alot of other thing.
i wouldnt sugjest xanax for a daily thing. Valium or xanax XR (xr= extended release) last in the system longer (valium works for about 1-2 days directly then its metabolites last for another 1-2 days after and then some) and if you HAVE to use it daily (3 pharmacists told me if you use valium 3 times a week its not likely you will build a tolerance/dependacy) you will build a tolerance and dependancy so you will have to up the dose alot more and with xanax it doesnt last very long compairativly.

part of the reason i thought of xanax was the quick action thing. i just kind of wanted them for when i had no other choice. like a resxcue inhaker (which i also take) im not on any other drugs. i stopped the aderall because it made me have anxiety attacks more frequently. this is all just reall7y new to me. i feel like the government scares doctors out of prescribing things to those who really need them
its really the addictiveness but docs dont realize that not everyone becomes addicted and by providing people with constant anxiety a fast acting, short effectiveness isnt going to help just cause more problems...
in that case, xanax is a good rescue benzo and i can *almost* garentee that you dont have ADHD if its increasing your anxiety. in people w/o adhd it makes them more hyper since its an amphetamine... (this isnt universal but very common)
i never did like the concept of taking amphetamine sulfate. or methylphenidate. i dont like the concept of taking anything daily. i value my sobriety too much to want to be intoxicated allt he time. i just hope my doctor understands. im just nervous i guess to make a request
