About how some feel intimidated by their Dr. or whatever, I think that is why wearing a nice Armani suit and tie with your shiny leather shoes and gold buckled DKNY belt finished with a nice light grey J. Crew suit jacket helps. Gives you confidence. For all the Dr knows you have a doctoral in whatever and hes intimidated by you. Also I kinda disagree with @
Massiveamounts - I think it can be easy, but it also can be a BITCH. I wasn't out drug seeking when I saw this doc, only looking for relief from my debilitating anxiety, and I happen to end up with things that work. Drs are smart, they might say they want you to do SSRIs first just to see, but they really might be thinking "This dude is a ****ing junkie no way am i writing him a perscription for a benzo, plus I think I saw him on Good Wll Humping on ShowTime at like 2am last night....Also this doc ran his own small priv practicve, didn't have access to any of my past health records from other Drs etc, didn't see I am RX'D suboxone, nothing. Got to love private practice. With a good look and sharp attitude you can get a Dr to write you almost anything, its confidence that people run short of.
