A member asked:

How can i get prescribed benzodiazepines?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anxiety, generally: Benzodiazepines are a class of medications known as anxiolytics meaning anti-anxiety. Many who take benzos do so chronically for anxiety disorders that are long-standing. Others take benzos as needed to sleep or when anxiety suddenly becomes overwhelming. As for how to have this class of medication prescribed, I recommend an open conversation with your doctor.

Do I have to be completely 'clean' of medication if I want to get pregnant? Read somewhere that it's best to stop benzodiazepines 3 months before becoming pregnant. I took xanax for some days, stopped 6 weeks ago. Do I have to wait two months?
