You could tell your friends whose house it is that you felt like you were coming down with something like a flu. Or, if they know about your mh issues, just be honest about not feeling well enough to get through the time there.
And yes, having the upped dosage of benzo feel like it's not helping isn't a good sign.  If possible, I'd start tapering down, to get off of it. Just because you might find they give you a higher dose and then someone pulls the rug out, by refusing to prescribe and you end up hopelessly hooked with no help for it. |
It's my parents that I'm house sitting for. I'm hoping my brother can do it instead, I just have such anxiety too about telling my mom I can't! She knows about my MH issues, but not how bad they've gotten. My bf is trying to get me to just tell her that I can't do it without him. Their poor kitties just hate being alone!
I've been taking the benzos as infrequently as I can, maybe 3-4 times a week at most. And I'm currently prescribed 1mg a day, which I rarely go over. As soon as I'm able to get in with with a pdoc I'm going to ask for something less addicting for my anxiety.
