Could an MD (not psychiatrist) prescribe anti anxiety medication?
Yes, your regular doctor can prescribe anxiety medication. Be aware though that there are a few doctors out there who will not prescribe xanax. I had to take xanax for anxiety and sleeplessness for over a year after my mom died and my husband got chronically ill. You will not look stupid to your doctor. Believe me, they have heard it all. See your doctor and just tell him/her what you are having problems with. I hope this helped you out just a little anyway.
