Does anyone else have trouble getting prescribed certain meds? I’ve been diagnosed bipolar 2 and also have pretty debilitating social anxiety.

However, my doc says they wouldn’t want to prescribe any anxiolytics apart from SSRIs or Hydroxyzine (both of which I’ve tried and didn’t help) because bipolar individuals are more prone to substance addiction. Which I can see to a certain point, but it seems kind of messed up that they are limiting my access to certain treatments because of my mental illness.

Does anyone else have issues getting certain, more problematic meds prescribed?
