It turns out that my insurance requires prior authorization for any diazepam. So I didn't get the new prescription and have no idea when I will. Hopefully it will help that I've been using the pills on and off for years and have a history of them making a big difference when I have times like these with my MAOI is simply too stimulating yet I need it. The trick will be that I'm already on klonopin and so my dr will have to explain why I need 2 benzos. But she's very good at convincing people that it's better to give in than to fight with her. Years ago she fought for me to get Provigil and kept refuting the denials until we got an unprecedented "approved for life" ruling.

Hopefully it will be quick and they won't give her a hard time about doing this even though it is not usually the best idea to take 2 benzos. It's a last resort and hopefully the insurance sees that quickly.
