Robocalls at that hour? I'd be upset! and I have so much trouble sleeping. If they'd awakened me, I'd have great trouble getting back to sleep.

Best wishes for the remainder of your klonopin taper!

How's Charlie doing?

The robocalls at midnight are so bad because I have just fallen asleep which takes hours and risks taking hours more to get back to sleep. Hopefully they don't do it again tonight. They only ring once and then hang up so I can't even yell at them.

I've been on klonopin or ativan for 16 years. I'm already on gabapentin so I can use a PRN dose of that if needed but my pdoc doesn't want me on more than I am taking of it either. I think eventually I'll be coming down on it too as my state is starting to track it like opiods (I'm in a place where the opiod mess is huge).

Charlie is doing better. He's on a diet food now that both he and his sister like (thank God) and while I call it their gold nuggets he hasn't had another sore in a while. He's still on steroids though and we won't know for sure if it is the food or the steroids until he's done with them which is several weeks away. He's getting really tired of meds; I understand completely. Thanks for asking. He's my sweet boy.
