My T wants me to go to my MD to ask for a prescription to take as needed when my anxiety gets too high or the flashbacks are too much. I resisted for a long time, but now I'm thinking he's right. So, I'm going to make an appointment with my MD next week. I can't see a Pdoc, because I believe I've used up my mental health benefits with my T appointments. I'm guessing my MD will give me what I ask for....so should I ask for xanax (my T's recommendation) or klonopin (what I'm leaning towards) or something else??

For the record, I DO have a history of addiction. Which is one of the reasons I was trying to avoid taking this step....but sometimes the anxiety level/flashback crap is just ridiculous and makes it impossible for me to be a good mom to my three boys.

Any advice???

Thanks!
