Well good luck if you're able to walk right in and say "Oh hai doc I get anxious and need you to give me somtheing for it, I was thinking Klonopin should do the trick k thanks bye!"

Particularly with any kind of addiction history, that is of course if you admit to it if they don't already know about it. I'm actually kind of surprised your therapist gave you the ok instead of saying "Get a treadmill".

Buspar is the only thing they will without reservation write up for me. It isn't perfect but it works in a pinch. I've long ago gotten over the resentment of seeing all my "Functional alcoholic" friends and aquaitenances get scripts for all sorts of benzos just because they get anxious or can't sleep *even with the booze*!

It all catches up sooner or later.
