I see (telehealth) my ice-cold pdoc on Tuesday. I think it's ridiculous - she's in New Mexico, I'm in northern Calif. We've never seen each other below the neck. I'd love to know why the clinic hired her.

Anyway, I'm going to propose an increase in Klonopin. Nothing else is working against the anxiety. Except perhaps a major tranquilizer.

One of these days I'll type out a post that's 5 paragraphs long.

Love all around.

sorry have you taken thorazine before?
I have been on haldol for quite a while since I was hospitalized.
I am on fewer meds since then.I only have social anxiety. I was hospitalized last year march april-2020 then I went to IOP where I learned how to be normal again.hubby said I should have not come home from the hospital, but I was there a month and my benefits were running out. I was successfully taken off geodon, bad psychosis in the hospital I knew it was going to bad but did not know it was going to be that bad.
any way @BethRags I am so sorry that you have the anxiety.
