xanax, libruim, and siezures

Hi. The two subject's of the benzos and siezures are not related but i thought id throw them in there. My question about the benzos is should i tell my new doc, the only one i can find aside from the one ive been seeing who takes my insurance that ive been diagnosed with schizophrenia, and am on seroquel, celexa, risperidal or should i omitt these parts and tell him the plain truth about how libruim helps me by, helping me keep my anxiety under control so i can work, which not working is causing dire straights for me, basically that the reason i need it along with helping anxiety in general. I would be telling exactly why i think i need the libruim how it helps and all my past. I dont take labels on my mind at all. If im a little crazy then thats what i am, i dont need a label to encapsulate my personality. Now ive had a screwed up brain for 15 years. Im no newbie to meds. I know for sure there are no interactions with the libruim or the other meds i take, and i am fully aware of the effects of the librium, the long term, short term effects of using it, and how it affects me. The reason im changing docs is to get a script for librium, becuase my current doc is stubbornly against prescribing benzodines, even though he's hurting the one or two percent of americans who actually need , and could benefit from these medicines. So that's my question. If it is completely safe to omitt parts of my story which wont hurt anyone, should i do it because a doc is more likely to prescribe librium to a patient with anxiety issues, and not with schizophrenia, and on other meds? Thanks for any replies.  O yeah, the siezures, they have nothing to do with benzos, but i have these dreams where i feel this intense energy all around me, and i feel like im shaking all over becuase of it. Could that be seizures or convulsions while im asleep? Thanks

I agree with the last post Definitely tell your dr the truth if he has your medical records everything is written in there and what ever the last dr said about you is in there and not telling him the truth and trying to get one over on him he will know because you other dr wouldn't omit information about your problems.  So tell it to him straight he is likely to put you on the meds u were on with the last dr unless the past dr had concerns with what you were taking them for.  Good luck

Tell everything to your Doc without hiding anything about your past history,situations of trouble,medications even a small pill for common cold has to be told.
If a Doc does not prescribe you Librium may be because of its potential dependence,tolerance and severe interactions with other anti psychotics,anti depressants,anti histamines.
Celexa(Citalopram)is an anti depressant,risperidol(Risperidone)anti psychotic,both of them interact with Librium.Please refer to medical information provided by chemist.
Please do not worry about Doctors who prescribe or do not prescribe medications you want.It comes through experience and research.Please talk to your Doc frankly about what issues that you would like to resolve or sensitive issues like your psychological episodes.Dreams are not seizures.
