[QUOTE=Wild Coyote;6321956]I am very sorry for all you have been through.

For awhile, my former pdoc could not identify meds I could take with my medical issues and my other meds. When that happens, it's both very frustrating and frightening. In time, that pdoc had retired. My new pdoc is more resourceful and does find meds I can try, although I cannot try them all.

I think it's a good idea for your providers to communicate and help to identify the meds you can safely take. In the meantime, it's tough on you.

As for klonopin concerns, you might ask your pdoc about an alternative. Although she may not yet know what else to prescribe.

Do you have skills (like CBT and/or DBT) to help you to cope?
Can you distract yourself with interests/activities?

We are here to lend support. Keep on reaching out. Your treatment team will be meeting soon.

Please stay safe.

As fr as an alternative to the klonopin, she said it was the only thing she felt was safe until they ca review everything. It is a low dose. It just bothers me because I really value my recovery. I'll be okay. Sometimes we have to do things we don't like. And, as miserable, and frustrated and scared as I felt, I am grateful that I have a good medical team (all of them) that communicated with each other and I know they have my safety, health and best interest at heart. It was just heart breaking and hard to swallow. I'm sure you've experienced that. Thanks for responding. As soon as someone tells me it's okay to use y real first name. I'll introduce myself. I could use some friends that have had and continue to have the same issues and experiences that I have.
