so I'm going to the doctor some time soon hopefully and I seriously think I need some meds for my anxiety, I have panic attacks at the moment they're really full on for about a week then i go ages barely having one, but I still have extreme anxiety, so yeh I'm hoping to get medication, are doctors reluctant to prescribe..?

If the doctor believes you are in need of medication, he/she will surely prescribe you something.

I'm on Ativan at the moment for my anxiety and am planning to take another trip to the doctor because my attack aftermath hasn't been so smooth or comfortable recently.

But, don't worry about it. The doctor will prescribe you something if you're in dire need.

You'll probably be prescribed something. Just remember that it's not a magic pill that makes all your problems go away. :)

The only thing they can precribe for under 18's is prozac. I'm on it at the moment its ok but i dont think its as affective as some others. Your GP should be able to prescribe it i hope you get what you want! :)

If you go to a psychiatrist and get an evaluation. He will prescribe the proper medication for you. I have been dealing with depression and anxiety for more than twenty five years. I was told once by an MD that I should just "suck it up". The psychiatrist disagreed.
