You can't walk in the door asking for benzos they will immediately think drug addict.

Most physicians are reluctant to prescribe benzos or pain medication now because of all the clients that accused the doctors of getting them addicted.

If you are suffering from acute withdrawal symptoms from a substance you are addicted to, this may be a medical emergency. Go to an ER or Urgent Care and hope for the best.
