It's hard to generalize. In my own experience, I have found that younger docs are more afraid of medications. I think older ones are less afraid because they have a lot of experience prescibing all kinds of medications.
So my guess would be that older docs would be more willing to give Xanax than younger ones.
When it comes to expensive drugs, that's a different issue. It depends on your insurance. American docs are generally less willing (or able) to give expensive drugs to their HMO patients. But they may be more free to give them to non-HMO patients. Insurance company rules also enter into it.
