>One thing my psychiatrist mentioned is that people who ask for Xanax are often perceived as "drug seekers". This benzo in particular has a reputation (although probably largely undeserved) for abuse liability.
Actually, I think that repuation is quite deserved. Of course, this is just where I live, it may be different other places... but Xanax is a VERY popular drug. "Xanbar" and "bars" have become common drug lingo here. I've never used it, personally. I just stick to the opiods.
Anyway, thanks for the advice. Very helpful and encouraging.
