It's hard to treat because of these two being opposites. That's why I decided not to do meds. I would probably want diazepam and they would give me like...you know... four pills for a month...so forget it. Gone are the days of big bottles of diazepam. I should have stockpiled.

Sorry to hear that. Could it hurt to ask about diazepam? Remember that you definitely will not get any pills if you do not ask! Worst case, they say no or give you 4 pills. Best case, they give you what you need! Plus -- and this is just my opinion -- you may actually reach a point where you absolutely need a diazepam, so I think 4 is better than nothing.
But anyway, based on what I have seen here, doctors seem to be more inclined to prescribe PRNs during these stressful times to keep their patients safe (so that they are away from coronavirus in the hospitals). So, while I cannot guarantee anything, I think people are just more understanding. I do not think you have anything to lose by asking.
