A member asked:
Can you suggest a means to get my doctor to give me a benzo like xana, ativan (lorazepam) or valium?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hmmm!: Discuss your symptoms with your physician. However, i would not expect the doctor to prescribe you benzodiazapines. It is a doctor's duty to first do no harm. You would need a medical indication for one of these medications and the doctor would need to determine that this was the best course of action. What you want and what the doctor believes you need may not be the same thing.
