> If they don't budge, suggest another benzo. Maybe Klonopin. There doesn't seem to be the hysteria over it like there is over Xanax. If it is still a no go, try a new doc and don't mention anything about prior substance abuse. I am an alcoholic and take Ativan without abusing it.
Seconding the above, ask for Ativan. One of the subtle differences in the not-in-the-books area is that Xanax seems to tickle my hunger for alcohol, while Ativan diminishes it.
Klonopin has a reputation for causing or accentuating depression, plus makes people tireder than Ativan.
