Can you call your old pdoc and see if you can get in sooner? Explain what happened and how dangerous it is.

If the pdoc can't fit you in sooner, perhaps your GP can prescribe the benzo temporarily until you see pdoc.

This nurse ... that was inappropriate and unsafe IMO. Is there a pdoc at the center who acts as a supervisor? Perhaps they can give you your rx benzos. She's in the wrong! "The board" needs to help you!

How long have you been taking the benzo?

Also, I have bipolar 1, too. Major episodes happen all bf with doing things like overtaking meds. I absolutely do think she should have pulled your benzo rx. I am thinking of you.
