Benzodiazepine Doctors

My dr. Wants me to stop my 200mg trazadone taken nightly for depression anxiety and sleep. And start taking 15 mg temazepam at night. Is it safe to just stop the trazadone like that. ## Hello, Scared! How are you? Stopping it abruptly might cause some withdrawal and rebound effects, but your doctor might be hoping to stave those off with the addition of the Temazepam. It is a benzodiazepine that can be used to treat the same types of problems, but it does carry the risk of being habit forming. It may also cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Learn more Temazepam details here. Have you discussed your concerns with your doctor?

When it comes to anxiety, the truth is that coping mechanisms (medically & behaviorally) are different for everyone. There are some who wholeheartedly feel that anxiety meds are not the answer, and while they may relish in other forms of distraction, we all share common a desire to make ourselves feel better in the moment through whatever means we respectfully deem necessary. Individual rights to one's perceived sense of adequate treatment should not be infringed upon by another's skewed perception of what only works best for his or herself. So in a rather complex and controversial outlook to the way anxiety should be treated, it seems that doctors and psychiatrists alike have taken a timid stance to prescribing benzo's - But is it really ethical and fair to the well-bei...

I must have called 20 or more doctors today. None of them will prescribe me benzodiazepines such as Klonopin at all. I'm 25 and have been on it since I was 16 and they just simply say "no one in the state will prescribe those thanks for calling". I'm near Charlotte but right now I would drive anywhere to get them because in a week or two I will be deathly sick and I can't face that. I just moved across the country away from my family, stopped my addiction to pain killers (that was caused by anxiety), and I'm trying to better my life. And to make it worse I'm having such a hard time living on my own mentally and they want me to stop all benzos. PLEASE HELP ME if you know of anyone who can help. {edited for privacy} ## Hello, Mike! How are you doing? Well, your...

Can anyone help me with the name of a doctor that is not afraid to prescribe soma? I understand my prescription can not cross state line. I have been told by walgreens it has to be a local dr. ## I did not know it has to be a local Doctor as Federal Law should apply. Seems that the State is meddling in places it has no right to be, and we the patients suffer. I know in California and Arizona Walgreens wouldn't tell you this, even though the Doc might? ## Hello, Susan! How are you? To explain this issue, Soma has become more strictly controlled, since it is very commonly abused, which means that the pharmacy stock limits now apply to it, just as they do for narcotics and benzodiazepines. Every pharmacy can only stock a certain amount each month, once they are out, they are out until ...

find doctor prescribes klaudipins in my area brown county, or clermont county ohio ## Hello, Amanda! How are you? Due to the new regulations that were set forth by the DEA last year, if you require such a medication, you'll need to see a specialist, which in this case would be a psychiatrist. A general practitioner won't prescribe it for you. The FDA lists Klonopin as being a benzodiazepine that's most commonly used to treat anxiety and nervous disorders. It carries the risk o being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Do you currently have a PCP that could refer you to someone? If so, that might be the easiest and quickest way to find the help you need. Can anyone recommend a good doctor in that area?

looking for doctor who prescribe xanax liberally in queens ny ## Personally, I think if you suffer from anxiety/depression and need a Benzodiazepine class medication (like Xanax), usually your best bet is to see a psychiatrist, rather than a regular medical doctor. Reason being, is that they are better trained in the types of medications that handle these problems and can also help you treat the underlying cause of your anxiety or depression, as opposed to covering up the feelings and emotions with medication; unless you decide that you're ok with only treating the symptoms for as long as they persist... I'm stating this based on personal experience with severe depression for over 2 years, and covering it up can help you get by temporarily, but not indefinitely. I hope this help...

Please help me get a prescription for Xanax or other benzos I'm clinically depressed got a referral from a counselor and the waiting list is so big it's nonexistent. Need help with this depression is deep and I need a doctor. ## Benzos do not cure depression? A qualified M.D. would tell you that! ## As EDDY has already stated, drugs in the benzodiazepine group do not cure depression and are not used to treat depression. To be 100% fair, two benzodiazepines (alprazolam aka Xanax; adinazolam which has never been marketed) do have some antidepressant qualities. When Upjohn first applied to the FDA to have Xanax approved, the company requested that one of Xanax's uses be listed as a treatment for depression. The evidence was shaky, and Xanax only received approval for anxiety di...

Looking for a doctor in Phoenix that prescribes Alprazolam / Xanax I've been on the medication for quite a few years for my panic attacks and anxiety my doctor prescribes me 2 milligrams twice a day and I'm new to this town and I don't know how I can find a doctor to prescribe me my medications any referrals would help! Thank you and God bless! ## Love, As I'm sure your aware this benzodiazepine class medication has garnered major negative publicity over the years and finding a prescriber for a new resident/ patient can be challenging at best. Some have found positive results by contacting social services at a local hospital ,they can often recommend providers that can assist you. Best wishes, Kenie ## Were you ever able to find a doctor who will prescribe 2 mg bars?

I have been taking Ativan for anxiety and my doctor is going to stop prescribing them. He said that nationwide doctors are no longer prescribing benzodiazepines. I don’t know how to find a doctor who will and I know calling doctors wouldn’t be a good idea. Hope someone in Northern California can suggest someone.

Remember, Doctor Shopping is illegal. I was told Xanax works best for Anxiety and Klonopin works best on panic attacks? ## Hello, Laura! How are you? I am very sorry about the problem that you're having. Klonopin and Xanax are both in the same exact family of medications and treat the same things, they are benzodiazepines. ...

I am 25 years old and i suffer from huge anxiety and panic attacks on a daily basis.however because of my age i cant find a doctor to prescribe me xanax because so many people my age abuse prescription drugs. i know its very addicting but i feel i should be on xanax for the rest of my life. If any1 knows a doctor that would prescribe me xanax aound middletown or anywhere in monmouth county nj i would really appreciate it thank you ## Actually, part of your problem is that you are so convinced that you need that specific medication and are already insisting you will need it for life. This will automatically make doctors wary of prescribing it, because, even though you may not intend it, it screams drug addict/drug seeker. Not only are there other Benzodiazepines on the market, but there ...

I suffer from anxiety and have severe anxiety attacks several times a day. I use to take xanax and klonopin and they helped so much. Does anyone know of a doctor around north Royalton Ohio that will easily prescribe the two? Thanks. ## I understand completely what you're going through. It is hard to find doctors to prescribe benzodiazepines now these days, because of the potential for abuse. I suffer from horrible social anxiety, and rarely, if ever, leave my house; it's horrible! The thing is, Xanax is a fast acting benzodiazepine, and is heavily abused, because it can make you feel high, but klonopin are slow acting release, and therefore do not have that same affect.

What are the effects and side effects of this medication? ## why doctors refer szetalo plus ## Szetalo Plus combines 10mgs of the Benzodiazepine Clonazepam with 10mgs of the antidepressant Escitalopram. Since it combines the two medications, doctors may prefer it, because it better controls conditioons such as depression, anxiety and nervous disorders. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, irritability and decreased libido.
