I don't see a Pdoc so I don't know....but I agree with others, that you should be prepared with a list of meds you HAVE tried, and let them make a suggestion, not you, if you have something in mind. I don't know what "really strong" anxiety medication is. Is Xanax "really strong?" My primary doc gives me more than I require, really, every month. But it lasts me 6-8 weeks or so...I don't take it daily. Is that considered really strong? I was on Valium for a couple years, then got switched to xanax. Right now I've been using it just to sleep at night....which probably isn't a good habit to get into, but it has certainly helped me with my insomnia. I sleep 8-9 hours a night now! So the past couple of weeks, I have taken it daily, but only at bedtime, and I'm prescribed twice the amount in a day than I take.

I was on propanalol years ago. It helped me for awhile....then nothing. So I just take xanax as needed.
