Hi my names Teddy. I have anxiety and panic attacks. I went to my family doctor and was prescribed paxil. I tried it for awhile but it didn t help and I still had no help with anxiety and panic attacks. I tried buspar and also hydroxyzine also were of no help to me. Buspar actually had an awful reaction with me. I have been living with anxiety and panic attacks for so long with no help because I just got insurance. My Dr. told me he doesn t believe in treating with benzodiazepines and offered a referral to a psychiatrist whom wasn t in my network but recommended I seek out a psychiatrist. So I did but also have researched benzodiazepines. The only thing I can find about this is Doctors unwilling to prescribe those medications and how hard it is to get this treatment mixed with therapy, yet people are still on them. A lot swear by them and a lot don t. So I wanted to try this treatment, recommended by my doctor and insurance representative and clinical nurse representative. My question is how do I go about asking for this treatment, benzodiazepines and cognitive behavioral therapy? Is it possible and plausible? Thanks.
