When I lived in Wales I asked my GP for Xanax. For panic etc. He said, "It was not available on NHS prescription". Carefully worded huh? So I asked the pharmacist (if in doubt ask the pharmacist I say, they usually know more about drugs than your doc, and so they should). He said if I could persuade my GP to give me a private session (not difficult he said, as it means the GP will charge you) you can get Xanax with a Private prescription.
My GP was a decent chap and gave me private prescription without the private session and that's largely how I got panic under control. Despite what they say, Xanax is better for this than Valium. It also gave me the courage to emigrate to New Zealand. With all its treatment resistant doctors was this a good move?, I ask myself
All the best
