How Likely Is a Doctor (General Practitioner) to Write a Prescription Upon Request for Anxiety?
Question by Matthew C: How likely is a doctor (General Practitioner) to write a prescription upon request for anxiety?
I know that anxiety drugs are commonly abused, and my symptoms are mild. But I’d still like a benzodiazepine for when I need it. Would I be better off going to a psychiatrist even if I don’t feel like I need therapy? Will the doctor think I’m just out to get drugs?

If you are already seeing the doctor and he knows you then talk to him about it. See if you are bad enough for drugs or not. Only a doctor can decide that.
