It might have been because it was on a college campus and clonazepam is apparently sold for drugs (either as is or is used to make meth or something, I don't remember).
I have a history of prescription drug abuse. But, I am going to have to switch doctors, since I've graduated...but if it's written on my chart, it may still affect how often I can get medication.
Short of my allergy medicine, I've never been able to get anything longer than a 3-month script for anything that I can recall.
The endocrine problem requires so many tests because:
1. They have no idea what the problem actually is, short of I have high DHEA
2. The medication I take can hurt my organs or mess up my blood sugar or blood pressure and probably some other stuff, hence blood tests every 6 months.
3. Since they have no idea why my DHEA is so high, since I have no other symptoms that go with anything they know of that has high DHEA, they think I'm going to start growing a tumor so I have to have a scan (can't remember which one) every 6 months. They might start scaling it back to a year, I don't know.
The real problem is that no one knows what wrong with me as I have symptoms that make no sense together and I've been tested for auto-immune diseases so they can't treat the physical symptoms in any efficient way.

I'd be very suspicious of any psychiatrist who has you running back every 4 weeks for appointments. That's really only appropriate, if you are very unstable, or, if you have bunches of money and like to spend it that way.

For a while I was, but even after I became stable, I guess she didn't think I was. On campus though, it was pretty cheap to see doctors, even specialist. Except for physical therapy, but that's a different story.
