Hey MCM, there is a TLDR at the bottom!

So first thing's first, I should clarify what I am looking for in regards to help. I urgently need to make some small cash; my normal job is not paying enough for my other activities (I will go in depth further later in this writing), and I do not know of any ways I can make a quick buck with my skill-set-- as well as in quota with my life's circumstances.

I have had chronic anxiety and panic disorder for a long period of my life and got prescribed 3mg of Alprazolam (Xanax) per day. It has done wonders. However, around a year ago my psychiatrist started tapering me off-- when he learned of my family's alcohol abuse and was informed about a DUI that I was involved in-- and long story short, just this month I am no longer on Alprazolam for my anxiety issues.

I have taken anxiety medications my whole life and Alprazolam & Klonopin are the only medications that have truly made my life livable. The past weeks have been rough. Rather than following through with what my psychiatrist deems fit (which I cannot stress enough to him that I need to get back on Alprazolam, my anxiety is heightened to a new level), I have been purchasing Alprazolam from not-so-official people. With that comes a whole new world of things to deal with-- as well as anxiety. It's been stressful to say the least.

I can't afford this unofficial Alprazolam use. It's a new world for me. It's expensive, but I need it. I did not ever have the thought I would have to do this, but this is how life is nowadays (at least for me).

I was brutally honest in this post-- and I know that may come across in many different ways, but I am begging you to please give me your advice or any other feedback you have. I would really appreciate it.

TL;DR: Lost access to my Benzos for my Anxiety, soon will not be able to afford my unofficial Benzos. Psychiatrist does not understand. I am trying to make ends meet while being able to afford Benzos to self-medicate.

Sorry to say this, but the psychiatrist is a medical professional. Not only does this solve your money problem, but it will save you future addiction issues and health problems in the future. It may be tough, but try over the counter or organic methods, or even practice new techniques to help your anxiety.

I'm very sorry to hear about your situation. My advice is to hang in there and if you know someone well IRL, I would strongly suggest that you tell them your situation and ask them to remind you not to take the medication. Other than that good luck!

I am already looking in to another medical professional, but for the time being, I do need to manage my anxiety in order for me to maintain my job, etc. I do agree with you completely however.[DOUBLEPOST=1593363273][/DOUBLEPOST]

Thank you for your advice. I really appreciate that and I will definitely try what you suggested.
