Be aware that "really strong" anxiety medication should be for emergency use only. I wouldn't advise going in and planning to get put on a long-term daily benzo. There are reasons that these medications have restrictions on them. they can have harmful effects if used incorrectly.

The doctor is the one who has the training on these medications. I recommend letting him or her know how severe your symptoms are, but I would suggest that you not go in and try to "push" them on what to prescribe. I am sure your words come out of fear and worry but as an outsider this post sounds like you may be going in and trying to demand a particular medication. I may be wrong, but just keep that in mind that to do so in such a way wouldn't serve you.

I'm gonna bounce off this. I would list off the meds you HAVE tried that haven't worked, and if there are any the ones that have worked only minimally. In this effort your doctor will be more likely to understand your urgency. But I still would NOT push for a particular med especially benzos because almost certainly it will come across as med seeking and destroy your chances especially first time seeing them.
