Reply to comment by simbaandnala23 in Psychiatrists that prescribe anxiety medications by Plastic_Awareness_96

Thank you. As someone who relied on benzodiazepines for a brief period when nothing else helped and stopped as soon as I was able and under a doctors supervision, I appreciate this comment very much. You are 100% right.

Don't worry about him. There's people who think google is enough experience to know how the world and medicine work when it really doesn't work that way at an individual level.

I would call psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners and be honest. Don't waste your time trying random doctors. If you have a therapist that's on board that goes a long way.

This, for real. These drugs are tools for addressing a variety of issues and there’s a reason why they get prescribed - they work for acute anxiety and panic attacks.
