In reply to How to ask doctor for Xanax?, posted by Fred23 on March 7, 2004, at 16:00:13
A non addictive alternative would be the anticonvulstant Neurontin, in my opinion. It also "increases GABA activity" and works for anxiety for most individuals who try it. Thats a good way to slow a "hyperexcited nervous system" to a normal level.
> How can I present my research and experimentation in a way that doesn't
seem like drug-seeking behavior after a fad drug?I know the problem. I often heard a "I cant do that", even if my suggestion made sense and was backed up by reliable studies. I finally have found a doctor, who is open minded and knows how this drugs work (at least whats is known today) and what they can be used for (I am soooo glad I have found him). And whats most important, is that one can talk and discuss with him.
So I dont have any tips on how to do this. sorry.>Would a GP understand the implications of that research about
GABA receptor genes, and that a benzodiazepine might be just what I need to
have my brain achieve their proper regulation?I guess an GP will understand it, but will never prescribe a addictive drug like Xanax for this purpose in my opinion. Go for Neurontin, or an other gabbaergic anticonvulsant.
good luck
