Sounds like you want benzodiazepines, i.e. Valium or Xanax. If you live in the UK, you will probably find them hard to get prescribed. Doctors have really clamped down on giving them out in the past decade or so. They have high addiction and abuse potential. Having said that, if you explain that you need them entirely genuinely and the doctor thinks they might help you, you may get a few.

Be careful though, a lot of people like them too much as they can provide near total relief for a lot of anxiety sufferers. They are not something you want to end up addicted to, and many health professionals consider them harder, and more dangerous than heroin to quit.

Thanks Davey... was prescribed xanax about 2 years ago... stil have two in my handbag... think they might be gone out of date lol.... just knowing there in my bag makes me feel a bit better....can u take xanax only when u need them or do u have to take them daily ?
