I thought I had a video session with my American psychiatrist about 15 minutes ago. I was waiting, and he comes on and tells me that I'm an hour early. I responded "I know the US had DST yesterday, but Czech Rep has it next Sunday. I worked so hard to get this right!" Nevertheless, I was in the wrong. I yelled to my husband and he told me it was one hour earlier than my laptop showed. I then looked at my cell phone and it confirmed that. Apparently though my laptop is set to Czech time, my calendar is still based on US, so my laptop observed US DST, while everything else is waiting for Czech. Obviously I was only looking at my laptop these past couple hours. Anyway, I'm glad I was one hour early, rather than one hour late. I'll try him again in 45 mins.

I'm not having any significant withdrawal issues from my Klonopin reduction. If any, it's a slight decreased mood state and an occasional dizzy feeling. Nothing concerning. I have been ultra tired very soon after my evening medications. Earlier than usual, and to a degree where I am desperate to sleep. One night I managed to stay up late, but it was almost painful doing so. I'm wondering if my psychiatrist will reduce my Klonopin again today. If so, it will be from 0.25 mg to approximately 0.125 mg. That's near the home stretch. I read that 2 weeks is usually the peak of any withdrawal issues from reductions. If so, the above-mentioned makes sense since I'm nearing that mark. But then I assume with the next reduction, there will be yet another 2 weeks to peak. It's possible I'll be just fine. Or maybe it will be worse with the next reduction.

Update: Just had my video session. Pdoc decided that given my short supply, and my success so far, I will try stopping the Klonopin, starting tonight. Wish me luck! Frankly, it shocked me that he said 0 mg instead of cutting the 0.25 mg in half.
