There's nothing you can say; doctor's have a sixth sense about addicts. Xanax is a highly addictive substance. If you are addicted, see an addiction psychiatrist. He/she will have ways of painlessly detoxing you and treating the real problem. For example, I was a doctor-shopping, Xanax lovin', self medicator for years before I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. It turns out that the drug Klonopin, not Xanax, was a much better choice for my anxiety.
TALK HONESTLY TO A DOCTOR! THEY WANT TO HELP YOU!You need to have anxiety issues, ie turn up to the surgery with your head shaking and thinking that strange green men are going to jump out of the walls at any given moment. Work the doctor into the situation however. Ensure that all of your outbursts are uncontrolled and seem sporadic.
Accuse the doctor of sleeping with your wife. If he rejects this claim, insist on it. Should he insist he didn't, begin slowing tapping your head on his desk. If he does not offer you Xanax at this point, increase the rate of tapping notionally until you head a steady 20-30 taps of your head per minute. It is also to ensure at this point that the force of which your head hits the desk increases proportionally with the increase in tap frequency.
At this point, most doctors should get the point that you are slight anxious and should begin writing the script. If they don't, pull out a gun and hold it to his head until he admits he had sex with your wife in the bum.
Of course they can. No doctor is obligated to prescribe you any medication (especially controlled) if he or she doesn't see fit. However, if you have been taking xanax at a substantial dose for more than a few weeks it would be somewhat unethical for a doctor to refuse to write you a prescription for xanax. Some people become suicidal when taking benzodiazepines and this is usually the main reason a doctor would refuse a "maintenance" type of dosage.
That is a decision to be made by your doctor.
will my arthirthis doctor still be able to perscripe oxycodone for me
Very carefully, I'd talk to a Dr 1st
xanax is p.o. or by mouth. There are injectables of medicines with the same effect.
It depends on how severe they are.
a psychiarist has a medical degree, ie they are aqualified doctor and can perscribe medicine. Therapists are qualified in other ways but cannot perscribe medication.
Well Yeah ... Anyone can be perscribe a medication.. insurance is just there to make it cheaper for the patient.. So lets say you don't have insurance... you would then pay the full amount for the prescription instead of a copay or 20% percent of the full price.
Because of its high abuse potential many doctors are reluctant to perscribe it. If it is the appropriate medication, a doctor will give it. So the answer depends on what the patient wants or needs it for.
No. Only a psychiatrist can legally perscribe medications. Therapists ie/ LCSW, psycologists, can reccommend medications only but cannot perscribe them.

I was looking to find this out for myself, but cant find anything on it!! I got a shot today, and just took a xanax without thinking about it first. Too late....so we shall see. I did tell the dr. i was taking Xanax before the shot, so i would have thought she would have said something.
Yes, you can. As a matter of fact, my Dr. prescribed me Xanax solely for this purpose. I was on 150mg Effexor XR, and switched to Zoloft. The Xanax was to be used while tapering down the Effexor and then ramping up the Zoloft. The Xanax was a lifesaver dealing with increased anxiety while going through the Effexor withdrawal and waiting for the Zoloft to "kick in". Talk to your Dr., as I'm not one, but I think you'd be fine using the Xanax as a very temporary aid while going through the withdrawal.
