Hi, EJ!

Unfortunately no. I've gone through this before (taking too much Ativan when I'm particularly anxious or stressed) and called in to see if pdoc would refill it. He is angry when I do that, won't refill it, and I get a tongue-lashing from his assistant about abusing medication.

It's my own fault, I know better and I know my pdoc is making sure I don't get dependent.

This is one of those *duh* moments - I googled the web earlier to see if there was anything of "fear of work." I truly didn't expect there to be. I've never met anyone who gets all panicky about work, but many who just don't like their jobs. I was amazed to see fear of work listed as a phobia. The symptoms of phobias are exactly what I experience. I've been seeing my pdoc for depression/bipolar but we've never talked about anxiety, much less it being a phobia. So, I feel better that what I'm going through is not just not wanting to go to work but it's something that produces awful physical sensations.

I've gotten worse every hour that goes by today and I'm truly thinking I won't be able to return...maybe have to resign like I've done most all of my other jobs. Until this phobia or whatever is address and somehow gotten under control, getting a new job will just be a temporary fix.

Ok, that was a long post to say "No my pdoc won't prescribe more anti-anxiety meds."
