The truth is clever--an excellent suggestion. I might add, if the doc suggests an SSRI as a first line TX (which is the appropriate course if there is an actual Dx of an anxiety disorder) welcome it and give it a fair shake. The doc may suggest a benzo to help manage initial symptoms. If not you can bring it up at the next appointment. If your anxiety is only sporadic or tied to specific situations the doc may recommend a benzo and there you are. PS if you are in the UK you are much less likely to get a Benzo. Good Luck
