Question 1

i need to know if there's any doctors that will prescribe xanax valium klonopin? i have been on them for 21 years and my doctor suddenly decided not to practice anymore when everything shut down and now i cannot find anything so any state but ky?

Accepted Answer

: Not here you won't. This is a public information site where volunteer docs answer health questions. It does not offer direct care/prescriptions/notes, etc. Most of those meds are controlled substances monitored by the feds. Docs require special permits to prescribe them and can lose their permit/license if they prescribe them without proper documentation/cause.

Question 2

can you use klonopin to taper off xanax? my doctor prescribed this method but now i'm reading that valium is better. help?

Accepted Answer

Method: I'm not familiar with the technique of substituting one benzodiazepine tranquilizer for another in order to taper off the first one.. Why not just perform a slow taper off the xanax without using any other medications?

Question 3

why won't doctors write me a prescription for xanax (alprazolam) or valium?

Benzos: Not clear with your circumstances, but such inquiry needs to be directed to them.

Question 4

i don't have health insurance aside from va coverage. they don't prescribe what's worked in the past. can you help me get xanax (alprazolam) or valium for my anxie?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately no: We are prohibited on HealthTap from prescribing any controlled substances including the Xanax (alprazolam) and Valium you are requesting.  Schedule an appt. with your PCP at the VA to discuss treatment options since you feel your current medications are not helping.  Good luck!

Question 5

mri monday morning possible disc herniation. doc wants me to take a valium before hand, never called it in. i have xanax (alprazolam) for my dog. (.5mg). same?

Accepted Answer

Kinda sorta: So xanax (alprazolam) is a brand of Alprazolam which is in same family as valium (diazepam). Not being a veterinarian, i can't tell you whether doggie xanax (alprazolam) is any different from human xanax (alprazolam). However, xanax (alprazolam) is short acting than valium. That being said, contact doc's office for prescription. But unless you're claustrophobic, you'll do fine w/o any drug. Mri's just loud ; boring and you must keep still. No biggi.

Question 6

Xanax is highly addictive medicine.

Primary care doc may not know  details of psychiatric medications.
 Some are not comfortable prescribing them especially when patients are demanding.

Primary care doc in private practice mostly write.

Pre-op jitters: Although this procedure can be done with out medications, dealing with anxiety can reduce  the perception of pain.  I would discuss your concerns with the urologist and anesthesiologist well before  your procedure
