Back to Benzos, yeah there is a big opiate issue and it's being blown up more than it should because it's usually celebrity doctors who prescribe those big and ungodly amounts to people. If you pay a doctor enough and find the right doctor he will give you anything you ask.. Which is sad because it ruins it for everyone and the media ALWAYS blows this out of proportion.. Like I said I use mine as a LAST resort.. I wanted a 30 days worth and every time I ask, my doc threatens to take it away altogether.. Also when I get my prescription filled and a Benzo is on it, I get looked at strangely and occasionally the tech or pharmacist will tell me that I shouldn't be using narcotics.. Hell at my last pdoc visit she made a mistake on my perscription and forgot to put a refill for my Klonipin, and when I called the office they gave me the riot act (Uh Sir, you certainly don't sound depressed or Anxious), I had to burn a lot of bridges to get that mistake my doc made fixed.. It's like I'm snorting it or something.. I don't even drink..

EffexorXR 150mg w/ Remeron 30mg (AKA California Rocket fuel)
Klonipin 2mg as needed

No current mood stabilizer as my symptoms are fairly stable as I drift more towards the depressive side, and most Mood Stabilizers cause too many side effects for me.
