Should i tell the doctor i used to drop bars i was never really addicted to them just did them every weekend for like a few months. now i actually need this drug... tell me what do you think. i dont even really use drugs anymore other than smoking weed everyday

If you didn't get high, it wouldn't work, so you already know what you do with this substance and now it's your choice to use it or not. It's going to end the same, even worse once prescribed since you can get it easily and then would have a excuse to use. Withdrawals are no fun and once you stop using, your anxiety is just going to be worse since it's not helping you learn how to deal with it. Drugs are not the answer, but you'll learn that for yourself. not planning to take regularly just when i feel severe panic coming on.

Rainbow Blight Posted at 2:24 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 Don't tell your doctor if you think you used to have a problem with them.  There's no reason to volunteer unnecessary information that might get you cut off from Xanax.  If you want to say that you've taken Xanax before, eh, well I just say that someone I knew would occasionally give me their Xanax for my anxiety (which is true) though not prescribed.  It worked for me, though not all doctors would be this generous. Keep it to yourself, there's no need to volunteer that information. live it up Posted at 2:18 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 you all know what i meant stfu... KweenZ Posted at 2:17 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 weed isnt a drug lol you kids dingle Posted at 2:17 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 Dude, you weren't an addict before so why would you be one now? Don't tell the doc, just be safe. seriously. sykexl Posted at 2:15 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 I'd say do what you want. If you really think it will be a problem, tell your doctor and ask for something else. Otherwise, I'd say just wait. If you can use them for their purpose and not to get high it shouldn't be a problem. This may be harder then it sounds, however. i dont even really use drugs anymore other than smoking weed everyday I fucking laughed hard. Thanks for that. live it up Posted at 2:15 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 ive been in therapy for over a year... and have been on an ssri for a year(which recently isnt doing the trick anymore) for my ocd which feeds off my anxiety. what im saying is i think i can take as prescribed. And what i meant by i dont really do drugs anymore is i dont have an urge for STRONG drugs other than weed.. my bad for a better lack of words blake da jew Posted at 2:13 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 talk to the doctor AliciaVengeance Posted at 2:12 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 Yes, It would be a good idea to tell him. ManiacPenguins Posted at 2:12 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 If you start taking bars on a regular basis, you just won't get high, they'll just kick in for what they are used for. plumc0la Posted at 2:12 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 Don't really do drugs anymore, other than weed everyday? Sounds like you do.   And I would seek therapy first without going straight to pills. La Motta Posted at 2:12 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 Ah definitely tell the doctor. Gaelle Posted at 2:12 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 If you smoke weed every day you do drugs. Tell your doctor. All 14 previous replies displayed.
