When will a doctor prescribe medicine for anxiety?

Well most likely on the first visit he will prescribe it. If you ask for it, they usually dont prescribe it because they think everybody who asks for it is just there because they want the drugs and are addicts. Ive been to lots of doctors for it, and when my prescriptions ran out, some doctors prescribed it again and some looked at me like I was an addict when I asked for them to prescribe it (after months of not having it, I wasnt addicted and showed no signs of addiction, although some people do get addicted very easily). Its better to just describe your symptoms, and let them come to the conclusion that you have anxiety. Dont just come out and say you have anxiety, if you want the medication. Some prescribe zoloft (anti-depressant) and I would avoid taking that if I were you. I wasnt happy with it, and she umed that my anxiety was caused by depression because I said I was anxious since my mom died and feared dying. It wasnt because of depression, it was just a fear of dying after seeing that, so she didnt quite understand and prescribed my zoloft, misdiagnosing me with anxiety caused by depression. Ativan, Lorazepam, Xanax, Alprazolam etc. These are the types of pills you want for anxiety, not anti depressants.
