Really Bad Panic Attacks and Drug Addiction?

Question by Sarah: Really bad panic attacks and drug addiction?
A little over a year ago I got super bad attacks and was prescribed benzos (Xanax, Klonopin, Valium, Restoril, etc.) In a short time I started abusing them. Majorly. Enough to be in NA now. But today I was in the car and started to get a major panic attack to where I could barely drive. So I took two Valium and smoked some pot. But now I am afraid for tomorrow that I will have to go to a far away ER just to get some more because I have been blacklisted nearby. And I don’t have a psychiatrist that would ever in his right mind Prescribe them to me… But the anxiety is so bad I don’t know what else I could do and still be able to leave my house.. What should I do?
