But I am deathly terrified of enclosed spaces. I’ve seen pictures of mri machines and there’s just no way. Unless I was completely sedated. Not even klonopin or Ativan will cut it. But if I’m completely sedated I need someone to drive me home and everyone is working. I’m going to make an appointment for an endocrinologist and see if I can get a brain mri in an open mri instead of a closed one. I did an open mri for my back and it was fine. So hopefully I can because I absolutely cannot get a closed mri.

I know there’s medication that can help too. I’m hoping he’ll just give me that and send me on my merry way. But probably not.
I had a friend that had elevated prolactin from Invega, when he got off the med it didn't fix it, he had to have meds for it.
