Right, and I'm sure they prescribe benzos for home use in the UK as well, but it all depends on the doctor's evaluation of you. If he believes there's a chance you're going to end up worse off with them than without, or believes you don't truly need them, he's not going to prescribe them.
Chilled, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything at all bad towards you. If I was just coming off a binge looking a little rough, decided "that's it I'm quitting", then walked into a doctor's office and asked for benzos, I'm certain I'd be flat out refused too. No doctor in their right mind would give me benzos in that state.
All the best with day 2 though!
