So my 20 yr old college student who does well in college suffers from social anxiety. He was not always this way so I am not sure what happened. He turned to alcohol for the last 3 years to help with anxiety. He is now seeing a therapist and is on zoloft. His therapist suggested he see his doctor to get an "as needed" anxiety med. He suggested burspirone. The new family doc he went to see prescribed that but my son insists on xanax! He said he doesn't understand what this issue is and that he needs them. Makes me wonder if he tried them already. He said he will still see his therapist but is angry at the family doctor. This doctor said that once he sees my son a few times and develops a repor he may consider prescribing that. Does anyone have any feelings towards this? My son smokes weed and must have told the doctor so he also brought that up as another reason he won't prescribe it. He was doing so well for 5 weeks on zoloft and then started drinking again. We had a huge fight tonight and of course he always turns it around to make me look like the bad one.
