Hope things work out well for you.

Thank you
I also take .5mg of klonipin at night to sleep.
I just got a DO for my primary by accident. I could ask him to prescribe my meds for me. I wonder if he would/be able to do that? I have seen him one time for my wellness exam. I have to find a gyn, female as he doesn't do paps.
Maybe next year if he is still there...I could ask him.
I pay privately to see my current pdoc.
She is reasonable. $95 for a med check 15 minutes. and sees me every 3-4 months. She charges me more($120) if I am unstable and my session lasts longer and would see me monthly if I need that.
I don't like her because she is judgemental about my drinking, makes me feel like there is something morally wrong because I have a drinking problem.
She has become overly involved asking me to create monthly charts about my drinking behavior. Mood charts, sleep chart.
Too much, I got hypo manic from all that.
sigh
She suggested I go to AA and I told her that I did not want to do that.
anyway she has been my pdoc for 13 years.
I confronted her and she backed off,
Now I lie to her now about how much I drink, which is 3-4 nights anywhere from 2-6 beers. I had 4 nights alcohol free last week which was good!
I was drinking every night before taking the lithium and glutamine. lithium for a month and glutamine for 2 weeks.
I feel back in control.
