I really want to quit IOP. Like, I’m fine now, I don’t want to sit around and listen to everyone and then learn a “skill” that I already know. I dunno. I’m going to tell my IOP therapist after I get my meds refilled.

I'm sorry you're having such anxiety, wildflowerchild. I fully understand the physical symptoms that can often come with it. I also know frustrations relating to IOPs, especially when you want to return to your private pdoc. I even used to see my private pdoc during the periods I was in IOP. My private pdoc didn't prescribe while I was in IOP, but I still at least had an extra supporter during the time.
Are you certain the IOP pdoc wouldn't give you a Klonopin prescription? I know that I have had an IOP pdoc give me one in the past. And this is with him knowing that I had a history of alcohol abuse. If you're willing, there's no harm in asking. The worst that could happen is for your IOP pdoc to say no.
