i was wondering does anyone have any advice to get a xanax perscription? i have a psychiatrist because when i was like 12 i was diagnosed with ADD (but i dont really have it they jsut thought i did i guess) well anyway i have a meeting with my psychiatrist in like a month and i was wondering what kinds of things should i say to get a xanax perscription? i tried it before and they gave me ativan which is lame and just makes me tired...i don't actually have anxiety but i want xanax lol..so what should i say? i have a few reasons i could tell them about why i have anxiety but like is there anything else that ONLY xanax can help?
fuck i always put it in the wrong thing...is there a way to delete this so i can make a new one in the right category?
if you dont like ativan, you probably wont like xanax, theyre pretty much the same. Benzos are the easiest meds to get between opiates, amphetamines and benzos, you just have to tell them you have anxiety episodes. describe periods of time when you feel extreme stress and anxiety for hours at a time. also, mention feeling the fight or flight response, thats a key part of it. To be honest, I dont think benzos are actually enjoyable to people who dont have anxiety. A lot of people say what you said about just getting tired. I used to be really into ativan, but when my anxiety level dropped, I lost appreciation for the high.
same for me, I used to be what we call down here a "bar-face". But after a while I lost interest in xanax. I only take them every now n then cuz I already got'em, but when I run out Im not gonna buy anymore. its all about OXYCODONE, now that's the greatest high on earth except of LSD trips.
nah ativan and xanax are completely different you can't get high off of ativan i don't think... anyway thanks for the advice, whats the fight response?
tell him that you get all anxious in class and your affraid to raise your hand in school cuz ur affraid everyone is gonna make fun off you if your wrong or call u a "teachers pet" or something like that...you have so much homework and are so stressed out...look up anxiety symptoms on google,,,but if ur on adderal or concerta or nething besides straterra for add than they mite think its because of that and take you off of it...than u have even less controlled substances to you name =[
Just tell him you have been having panic attacks; like, you will get really anxious or stressed about something. Tell him that you get anxious that you start breathing hard. Tell him that your heart starts beating fast. You start sweating. You're jittery/jumpy/shaky. etc. Maybe don't mention all of those symptoms, but it's some ideas.
ok thanks. my friend told me to say something like "i tried xanax once when i was having an anxiety attack and it helped" cause they might try to put me on some other useless shit otherwise... but then again i dont want them to think i use it to get high. so yeah idk
Yeah thats a horrible idea, don't even mention you tried xanax illegally. Don't even mention you want pills, theyre professionals and they know what drug-seeking behavoir sounds like.
You have no idea what youre talking about. Xanax and ativan are almost identical highs, the only difference is the length. have you even taken xanax, because I think you may be misinformed about its effects.
No, you don't know what you're talking about. i've taken both and they feel completely different. ativan doesn't even make you high just drowsy and weird feeling. unless you have to take a shitload of ativan or something. cause i took 4x the amount i was perscribed and felt out of it and drowsy but nothing like xanax.
then its psychological, theres no real difference. 2 mgs of ativan is the same as 2 mgs of xanax. Ive never been able to differentiate, but I have taken ativan more than any benzo, and it most definitely gets you high. Anyways, the fight or flight response is what you experience when faced with danger, your body determines whether to fight for its life or run away. panic attacks are usually very similar to the feeling of being in immediate danger, heart beat increases, adrenaline starts pumping, muscles tighten. remember to describe feeling this for hours, because meds are more likely to help anxiety episodes than panic attacks.
i still don't think it gets you high... http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/showthread.php?t=173023 & look it up on erowid (i always look shit up on there before i do a drug lol) apparently you can feel kinda nice from it but it's nothing like a xanax high. anyway thanks for the advice i definitely will say that.
hes right....paperplanes what your saying is the equivalant of someone saying ...i love vodka, bur rum doesnt get me drunk...??? a benzo is a benzo, slightly different but relativley the same effects,,,the adverage person (myself included) couldnt tell the differnce between 2mgs of xanax and 2 mgs of ativan if they didnt know for sure which they took...
i just think its hard to get high on ativan like either i have to take a lot more at a time or it just doesn't work but with xanax i just need a few so it's better. but just cause they have the same ingredient doesn't mean their the same...like robitussin and triple c's both have dxm but they have different effects cause of other shit idk i could be wrong but i think they are different.
ativans suck. you can seem fucked out of your mind to others but don't feel it at all yourself. i prefer xanax. and don't mention a specific drug. just bullshit stories of severe panic attacks and maybe night terrors or something. if you specify it could bring the doctor's guard up. they'll probably give you klonopins.
I guess its a matter of individual preference, but you cant just say that ativan doesnt get you high. Some people react differently to different chemicals, but for most people the consensus I have reached is that its almost impossible to differentiate between benzos.
Just to clarify.....they don't contain the same ingredient; Ativan is lorazepam, and Xanax is alprazolam.
