medications to try for anxiety, so make sure to ask your psychiatrist. Gabapentin, lyrics, remeron, hydrodyzine, buspar are all common and safe, have you tried any of those?

Depends on the state. Psychologists have prescription privileges in a few states

It's true but there are additional requirements as well so they're pretty rare even if in one of the 5 states.
