The medication that I need a new prescription for every month is Clonazepam (Klonotopin [sp?]) for anxiety. I have pretty bad anxiety and since I'm in music...I have to keep it under control. I don't know if I could adjust to living completely without it...at least not without relying on alcohol etc. to do the same thing. Especially now that I'm transitioning between school and the real world, where it's the most anxiety-inducing. It might making sleeping even harder too, I'm not sure about that.
I think my other drugs can last at least 2 or 3 months without a new prescription. The other problem is my anti-depressant where I'm lucky to get two months at a time.
Also, if I keep my medication as it is now, one is prescribed by a general doctor, while others are prescribed by either a psychiatrist OR a endocrinologist (so I have to see two expensive doctors). And I still need to see a neurologist somehow...what if THEY prescribe medicine (if I ever get to see one that is)? This of course doesn't account for the massive amounts of tests I have to take every year for the endocrinologist which are only affordable with insurance.
Well, gee...I'm even more screwed than I thought.
