I worked for a female dentist who has several patients who have to have xanax before a routine cleaning. It's perfectly understandable to me!! The doctor prescribes 2 tablets at a time for the visit. It's not unusual in the least.
My recommendation would be to make (and go to) an appointment, but ask to speak with the doctor first if possible to outline your request. Otherwise you'll go through having your blood pressure checked, weight, etc., while waiting for the doctor, meanwhile getting more upset as time passes. A good doctor who listens to her patients should be able to comply and make you as comfortable as possible.
