I am an alcoholic and have serious anxiety issues that are seperate from alcohol. Doctors do not want to prescribe benzos to alcoholics because they are cross tolerant with alcohol and work on the same (GABA receptors). However, I am honest with my doctor and they prescribe me a non-narcotic medication along with a very limited supply of benzos which I use on an emergency only basis. If you are not already on benzos, I would be very hesitant to take them as I do not believe they are good for anyone on a regular basis. There are alternatives that are non-narcotic that work for a lot of people, talk to your doctor. Typcially detox places prescribe small amounts of benzos for when you first quit for withdrawals and seizure prevention if your are high-risk and discourage any benzo use after.
