I agree that if you push too hard you'll seem drug seeking. I've been seeing my p-doc for almost a year, and she still won't prescribe me even a tiny dose of Xanax or another benzo to take as needed because I drink alcohol, and the combination can be deadly.
Have you tried a beta blocker (like propanolol) before? That can help with anxiety, and you might be more likely to get a prescription for that on a first visit than a benzo. I would list what didn't work for you and ask what he/she recommends, rather than requesting something in particular.
