I've been seeing her for almost two years now, that is a record for me. I'm so thankful that I've finally found a psychiatrist I can really trust.
I finally got some good rest last night, I went to bed a bit late but I slept until 10:00 this morning and I feel totally refreshed!
I want to taper off the Klonopin when I've been stable for awhile. I haven't needed the Klonopin in years, but I'm unfortunately physically dependent on it now. How bothersome. I just want to make sure my life is relatively low stress before I start the horrible process of coming off this stuff. Ugh, not looking forward to it but it'll be worth it. I hate the way Klonopin makes me feel, it dulls my thinking and I simply cannot have that! I want to go to college and become a psychiatrist or a lawyer, not sure which one yet! |
Good to hear you're doing well
I feel the same about my current pdoc, I went today asking about benzo's and he said I was already on too much meds so he just increased my sleeping tablet. At first I was a little annoyed but then I realised that they don't want me going around like a zombie or needing benzo's to cope. If there where more doctors like that we wouldn't have the problem of withdrawal from long term benzo use.
They're trying to get me to see the pdocs down here in the town I'm in now and they're just the opposite! Really hope I don't have to change.
