In reply to How do I get a benzo?, posted by Caleb462 on March 12, 2003, at 22:42:33
Hi, I hear you here. I have somewhat of an anti-benzo pdoc.-not my gpdoc. First, may I suggest that you talk to this psychiatrist and say, "I am very aware of the addicitve properties of benzos, I think that they will help me out, and I plan to take them responsibly, and if I have a problem, I will tell you"?
You think that would work? I would try to find a doc that would help you on a trial of benzos, I mean there are docs out there who gladly prescribe them-reasonably.
I wish you all the best, please keep me posted:-)

My psych. isn't going for it, and likely never will. He sees benzos as "addictive drugs"... I wonder what he considers SSRIs and the like then. Anyway... so, should I try yet another p-doc? Or perhaps see a GP instead?
And what exactly do I say? Should I just tell him/her flat out - "I want Klonopin", or are there better/more subtle ways to go about it. Any advice is appreciated, thanks.
