Its sad that its so easy to get these meds and I have to wait 4 days to pick up a 1/2 ounce. Im glad your honest about it, everyone likes to get a buzz on.
I agree with andcrs. And it actually kinda pisses me off for that reason. I actually get panic attacks and they are horrifying and I can't get medication for them.
true, i am by no means a good liar. I just looked up info on google and memorized symtoms. oh and here's a tip...never ask right out for drugs. You got beat around the bush a little, and let the shrink think it's his idea to medicate you.
Yeah well i need a perscription to xanax because i've been having terrible panic attacks when i'm around people because of my social phobia. I've talked to my psychologist several times about benzodiazapines, and she will not prescribe them to me. I think it's because she thinks i'm a fake like the original poster, no offence. i'm not though! i'm fucking serious. Not only that but because of my past history that she was told about by my grandparents. About me getting arrested for pot. So thats probably another reason she want prescibe them to me is because she thinks i'll abuse them. I've taken xanax lately without a prescribtion anyways because i figured it couldn't hurt any, just .5mg, and it really has helped me beyond belief. I can go to school now and concentrate on my work without having to worry about my having to leave the room because of a panic attack. The only excuse my doctor would give me for not prescribing it was that it is to sedative. Thats a bullshit excuse, and it doesn't even make me tired at that.
not to go away from the thread... but i social phobias more than anything interested me, i always wondered how people could be afarid of other people, like in a school enviroment, i mean i guess if everyone is hostile to you, and no one is your friend, i don't know your school, but the places i've been its always been easy to blend in does crowds in general make you afarid? Does the actual talking cause the panic attacks? When did if frist occur? How did it start? Do you have freinds/relatioships? i am very interested in phobias, espically this one thx for any cooperation personally i don't like medication...but there are times when it is a nescescary thing
Yeah well i'd say that it's just an illogical fear of people. There is really no reason that i can think of for me being like this. The only thing i can think of is it might have been a good tool for man to have thousands of years ago so other people wouldn't kill them, and it still lingers in people today. I've tried every method to fix this problem that i can think of but all seem to not work except for one. And that one is xanax. It is necessary in my case because when i'm on it i can talk to anyone and not feel embarrassed at all. The most embarrassing thing in the world could happen to me on xanax and i wouldn't care. Embarrasment is probably the main reason i and other social phobics are the way we are. It is an illogical fear of disapproval, and embarrasment. I can think about it logically, and know that it doesn't make sense to be embarrassed, but it doesn't help any. My illogical instinct will force me to turn away from people. And it drives me mad! i've been suicidal for a while until now. I think i'm going to try a new psychologist, or a psychietrist instead of my last one to see if they will give me a prescribtion. She was just being a bung hole. Peace, hope that helped. If you want to know more just pick up the book, "Painfully Shy" and that should help.
