Hi! I am a 30 y/o male from Louisiana, I have M.A.D. a long with Agoaphobia. I just so happen to live in a part of the country that has abused this med to the point that even I am having a problem getting my xanax!! Most Dr's. do not wright it anymore. The doctors have had me on almost every drug for my anxiety attacks,"M.A.D. And as much as I hate to say it but, The xanax works better for me then all I have been on. So now the medical board is taking alot of these doctors out..And people like me have to suffer because of the people that got the drug and did not use it for what it was made for..A MED!! Please, can someone help me?

Thank you for your question and welcome to AnxietyConnection.com.

 

There are some ways to help you find a doctor;

 

Contact your local Health Department and ask for a referral.

Contact a support group in your area (hospitals sometimes know where a support group is) and ask if any of the members of the group may know of a doctor in your area

The Anxiety Disorder Association of America has a listing of support groups as well: http://www.adaa.org/GettingHelp/SupportGroups.asp

 

I hope these ideas help
