    Depends on the doctor. Just getting handed a script is unlikely tho

    Yeah, I should probably just order them from the darknet, don't want drug seeking behavior or whatever in my medical history.

    Your best avenue to being prescribed something would be to see a psychiatrist and they'd evaluate your needs/condition/diagnosis and establish a care plan. That sounds like a long way of obtaining what you're wanting, but if the prescription would be truly helpful then I'd recommend it. Plus there's also other long term benefits to this route, imo.

    If you meet the requirements for that drug, you can get prescribed that drug. Drug commercials in the USA are on so often because you can tell your doctor that you want that drug and they will prescribe it, again if you meet the requirements.

    Being honest with your doctor will not get you generally labeled as anything. You may get information to a see a specialist if it is believed the drugs you are taking is an addiction, or dangerous. They are mainly wanting to know information so the drug they may put you on will not have a horrible adverse reaction from mixing 2 drugs. If you explain to your doctor why you believe you need it, or something similar because you have anxiety, you almost certainly will get prescribed something for your anxiety.

    Asking a doctor for something as specific as gabapentin is pretty unusual, especially if you've never had a prescription that you could reference as having provided relief for a previously diagnosed issue.

    I mean, I suppose if somebody went to a physician and complained about a strange urge to constantly move their legs whenever they tried to get some sleep, well, that would be a condition that would be otherwise unconfirmable which could result in a gabapentin prescription. But, a prescription for something like clonidine or pramipexole would probably be a preferred first treatment option, and obviously it would be dishonest to naively describe the symptoms of a condition like RLS to a physician as part of an undetectable plan to seek off-label use of a drug.
