I Agree with all. I have extreme anxiety and my gp put me on cymbalta and lexapro to help. Did a little bit to help with anxiety but left me numb or suicidal. So I went off and looked for a p-doc. As i was describing to him some of what was going on, I called in a panic state, he said I was also suffering from panic attacks and prescribed xanax at first PRN, then because I did not take it much he prescribe it every 4 hours. I did not take it every 4 hours but I took it more and finally it helped the panic attacks. He had me pre-medicate before I went into stressful situations.
I really hope you find a doc that will allow you the use of benzos. Interestingly my doc is older, 70 or so. I asked him if I would become addicted he said no, just may have to up the dose at some time.
I lived in Tennesse for 13 years but alas never seeked p-doc help. So I am no help.
