Yeah I miss the guy to pieces, but you know... I can always find something to be annoyed about, lol.

I am not blaming my ex-psychiatrist for my benzo addiction. Of course addiction is no one's fault. However, I was honest with my pdoc that I was using Klonopin VERY inappropriately, and I asked him for help tapering down. He had me on six mg per day, which is probably a lot for a normal human being, but for me it was significantly lower. However, he never suggested I go to treatment, never warned me about the potentially lethal consequences of trying to wean myself off of my 11-year addiction, and basically never called me back to help me out. However, every time I would call him and say, "I'm going through withdrawals, I need more," he would never cease to call the pharmacy.

I left a msg. for T to let him know that I was seeing a new pdoc at the dual-diagnosis place I go to for treatment. He left me a msg back, acting all shocked that I am not seeing ex-pdoc anymore. In the past he has said that pdoc is a good doctor. T was the one who pretty much insisted I get addiction treatment-- but he never said anything about ex-pdoc. They used to work together at the same agency before T switched agencies.

I dunno... I just feel annoyed by this. I feel like T is not on my side or something.
