Should i be on xanax

[whattodo]

ok im 21, and f'd up my life pretty good so far. i was into drugs for awhile, but i have done nothing more than smoke weed in the past 2 years. Ok so hear it goes...i have never been to a shrink or anything, never been prescribed to any pills other than antibotics and percecet from my wisdom teeth. (which i cant take because i they make me sick). So i dont know how to ask the doctor that i need xanax. I tried some the other day, a low dose, just a 0.5 mg peach pill. Ive been going through a lot of personal BS lately, and weed does nothing but make more depressed. when i took that pill, i felt like i could function the way i have before all this started happening. Anouther thing, im nervous about almost everything..sometimes i dont even know it. People i dont know for example, i cant bring myself to talk to them cause im nervous, especially woman. i lost my virginity at 20 and trust me it wasnt by choice, and im not that bad looking of a guy. i can go on forever on things i get anxiety over. my mother gets prescribed xanax already, and she thinksit might be a good idea. i never had a history of abuse on anything, ive tried a few different drugs before, but weed is the only thing i do often. please dont think im a druggie trying to get a new fix. im at a point in my life together where i need to get my sh** together, i believe honest to god that xanax or something simular would help. SOOOO how do i tell this to a doctor so it doesnt seem like im a pill feind. thanks in advance

Instead of telling your doctor you need XYZ medication, you should tell him about what you've been experiencing. He may want to prescribe another drug or refer you to psychotherapy. If you are nervous all of the time time, benzodiazepines aren't really the best choice because of addiction issues.
