A Doctor That Will Prescribe Xanax In Or Around Nashville Tn

I have been having anxiety attacks for years and had mistaken it for severe depression. After having my third child they started to become out of control. I've seen a few doctor's that all seem to want to try a large combination of meds and diagnose me with a number of things... one doctor (that no longer is in this state) prescribed 1mg xanax and I felt as if I could get on my knees and cry out thank you. I felt cured. Then he left state and another doctor put me on ativan 1mg 2x a day and it didn't kick in until after the damage of the attack was done and after me freaking out or pulling over on road to cry... then it would last way longer and I felt a bit like a zombie where the xanax would kick in fast, take care of the issue and leave soon after. Too many ppl abuse the drug and make it hard for ones that find it as a true life saver. Where can I find a doctor in or around nashville tn that is comfortable prescribing xanax 1mg for anxiety attacks?

REPORT

If you suffer from anxiety 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 (for long term relief), as opposed to temporarily covering up the feelings and emotions with medication. Many general physicians are also reluctant to prescribe controlled substances due to abuse and the heavy regulations that they have to abide by from the government.

If you do opt to see a regular medical doctor, some advice I can give you is to not specifically ask for any given medication right off the bat. Make sure to transfer or take a copy of all your medical records with you. Then, the best approach in my opinion is to discuss what has and hasn't worked for you in the past. Most doctors will take it under consideration if you approach them in this manner. I don't think a lot of patients get the medications they hope for, due to how up front and "needy" they come off as to doctors. I hope this makes sense.

I hope this info helps and wish you the best of luck in finding the right care!

You know David while your advice is prudent unless a state REQUIRES this, you must be aware that most Psychiatrists do not accept Insurance, and a $30 specialist visit can cost $500, at least in my area, If your Doctor does not feel comfortable in prescribing Xanax and suggests a referral, especially in today's pill climate I can understand it, but please, your advice is not again prudent for all areas in the U.S. I liked my Psychiatrist who prescribed Xanax yet he offered no special insight or instructions that a regular M.D. couldn't provide. Family doctors prescribe the majority of anti depressants and have limited knowledge in that area as well? Many people are hurting, and it seems like seeing a Psychiatrist can be much more difficult than you would even know. Perhaps with Obamacare everything will be wonderful, but for now we have a broken system, and a Government making it harder to obtain care.

Hi Kris, from everything i've heard, xanax is a horrible thing to try to withdraw from. Maybe consider Klonipin or Valium. I have taken xanax and know it works well but I would hate to be dependent on it.

Klonopin is just as bad as far as withdrawal goes, believe me I have been there. I am currently taking xanex for anxiety and fully understand how It can and will be a life saver for people like us. The truth is all benzo's can result in serious withdrawal symptoms but for people who have major anxiety attacks on a regular basis, In my opinion it is best to keep your anxiety and your life in order through a benzo regement. If you have not had to take benzo's for anxiety and your anxiety is controllable more often than not I would highly recommend finding another way to control your anxiety. Benzo's should be a last resort if nothing else has seemed to work.

Hi Blake, this is Amanda. Sorry I took so long. I came off 170mgs methadone daily and four 1mg xanax daily and i am currently taking only 20mg suboxone daily. I had a hard time letting go but anyways i just checked my email and i know a doctor in shelbyville tn who gives xanax and klonopin. His name is alex fider and he used to prescribe me four 1mg xanax daily and 2mg klonopin at bedtime. Every time you go he will increase your dosage it just takes time to get the dose that is right for you and dr. fider is understanding and he prescribes just about anything you want, he's very nice. Best of luck! if you need anymore info let me know. I like to help others who are in need and i consider anyone who is searching here to be in need and if anyone else needs my help finding a doctor in their area I can help by searching online. I have time to spare since i'm unable to work so i can help others like this.

Re: Boxstar (# 78)

Well I must say! It’s just a never ending vicious cycle! I lost my brother/father all within 3 months. I’m still in shock! My psychiatrist thinks it’s ok for me to feel this way! Nope, can’t put me back on all the meds that worked for me. Said it was an opioid crisis! Well then close the damn borders! That’s were all the Fentanyl comes in! At this point I’m just gonna say screw the real doctors! It’s less hassle! I’m gonna lose my job anyways so wtf do I care! Is it better to live a life in depression/pain all their your entire life or have some quality of life before you die? I even thought about moving to Canada to sign up for their Maid program! Why? b/c I have nothing left in this world! I still have a disabled mother but she threw me out of the house at 16.5 & now she wants me to help her! Why? She’s giving all the inheritance to her granddaughter & her children! My brothers who I helped save his life years ago while in a coma! I should of just walked away b/c now they are all hanging up on me! The doctors know what’s going on, yet they just have their eyes closed. I’m done! If I don't get the help I need I will be signing up for the maid program!

Re: EDDY (# 82)

I worked all my life’ therefore I have excellent insurance’ but what good is it if you can’t find a Dr. that listens to
You. It actually is way more b/c of other underlying health conditions. The thing I’m trying to convey is ‘ what good is life if it’s not Quality of Life? I know all about the zanax side effects’ but I’was t worried b/c the meds worked for me. They may work differently on others’ so what works for me may not work for others. As far as find another Dr.’ The MHC in the US is horrible! It’s all about $$$ ‘ & pushing the next drug! Im not going to stay with him much longer’ I’m just trying to get myself out of the house & somewhat functioning b/f I can change. I am nowhere near that esp after losing 2 of my immediate family 3 mths ago. I wish you al the best!

Re: Boxstar (# 81)

How did you spend 1.2 million dollars on this drug cocktail is what I want to know? We have heard this same story from countless others, especially in the last few years. Can you go to a different provider, your Doctor sounds terrible. I predict they are going to ban Benzodiazepines next. I used to have a whole bunch of spare medicine, still have quite a bit and my family Doctor still prescribes them for me. I hate that some Doctors & Psychiatrists harm their patients by misdiagnosing and prescribing medicines that can make you worse. Xanax however is not a cure and it can lead to memory loss & worse, especially as we age

Re: Boxstar (# 80)

Jus an update from me in regards to my Psychiatrist. Nothing he’s giving me is working.I have no quality of life’ I just lost my brother/Dad in Dec.& that pushed me over the edge. My mom in her 80’s is Disabled/Wheelchair bound! I’m not sure what to do. I let my DR. Work with me a year b/c I was really worse then??. He refuses to put me back in my daily regimen for 20 yrs. I could function’ work long hours’ had no issues with doing things’ traveled a lot for work. Now it’s been 5 years since I worked. I feel I am caged in a lions den. My bedroom is my Sanctuary’ & barely get out & I live alone. It’s how it was all my life. I have no one & no one is coming for me.???? I am not getting any relief from the Buspirone 10mg’ Gabap’300mg . 20mg Trintellix & 10mg Amby. Was my regular regimen I had no issues working’socializing’ focusing. Now that I’ve been off zany I can’t focus or so Introverted. It’s getting to the point I might lose my job’ house’ family over some BS like this. Like why am I taking all this for a year or so & still not performing /or quality of life. Now my doc wants to try TMS & Im not wanting to do so. Then Sporata’ K-Drip but I don’t have anyone to drive me. Obstacles are all over the place! I do t know why he want jus give me back my regimen I’ve had for years so I can at least live 10 more years. He did say that zany can cause memory loss’ I said why does it matter b/c my whole body is at loss now! I can’t get gov assistance b/c of my career’ but why would they let that happen.? FTLOG their has to be a dr. Out there that will listen to the patient & provide the best care to them. Esp if the meds worked without any problems. I’m like’ why even set up another appointment in the month’ why not Six b/c nothing has changed in a year. ???????

Re: EDDY (# 79)

Trintellix is 50.00 but you can apply PCA to get their coupon & should be 10.00. It really depends on your insurance. It’s really hard to find a MHC doctor in Nashville’ the one I have is more Holistic‘now wanting to try TMS which I’m not comfortable with. ?? I got off the Alpraz by no choice. I had a rough time with withdrawals but was given Klonopin then my new doctor gave me Busperoine. I cannot really focus with any of it. I was taken off the Alpraz during the Pandemic so you can jus imagine!???? As for the Trintellix I been on for years’ as in when it was Brintellix it worked for me than any other Anti- depressants & I been on almost all of them. Hope that helps. ??

How much is this Trintellix? I see some can get it for $10 a month. Can you visit Mexico and buy what you need over the counter? How did you successfully get off Xanax in this last year? Why not dump your Doctor, or try others?

I have no quality of life anymore since I have been off my 20-year regimen of Alprazolam 2mg 3x as needed. The psychiatrist I have now has put me on 10mg of Buspirone and Trintellix. I've been on this for a year, and it's not working. I’m losing everything that I worked for, over a $1.12 million amount for my meds. I can’t go out of the house, meet people, have no energy. To make things worse, I lost my big brother in September 2023 and my dad on December 18th. This pushed me over the edge. My mom, who's 80 and in a wheelchair, I’m not sure I can do this. Who is going to take care of me? I've been in my career for over 20 years and it’s all going to end if I don’t get help. What's the sense in being here when you have no quality of life? I just wish I could get back on all the meds I have been on forever to at least work and provide for myself. I have no one.
