That insane psychiatrist (who isn't even a pdoc, but is a D.O) has written crap on my medical record under the guise of "referring" me to another doctor. So the stuff she wrote that would normally be confidential can now be seen by any medical person because it's labeled as a referral. The doctor she referred me to is an addictions person. That woman wrote that I have a "Klonopin dependency" (true) and that I don't want to decrease the Klonopin because I only want to take "sedating drugs." (NOT true!)
What she's written is a complete lie. I had told her several times that I was prescribed Klonopin over 20 years ago and definitely want to stop taking it (by decreasing it very slowly), but that I was worried I'd never be able to completely be off it. Not that I don't want to, but that I'm afraid I can't, due to so many years of physical dependence. I made that very clear to her, and I was clear in telling her that I've never abused Klonopin (or any substance, for that matter).
In what she wrote on my medical record, among other horrors she stressed several times that I only want "to take sedating drugs" and gave examples of those, including "cogentin and propanolol." But I was prescribed those meds for tremor, not to sedate! And I asked her to prescribe an AP because of serious sleep issues and because when I don't sleep I have major mood episodes, paranoia, etc., and I don't want to be in an unsafe situation. I mean, I have learned these things about myself! I was never trying to abuse any sedating medication. The only AP she would prescribe was 12.5mg of Seroquel and that for only 14 nights per month.
This information came into my email tonight (my "patient portal" medical record thing). I'm about unglued, and now feeling like everything I'm doing is wrong, and I feel terribly afraid. Triggered, badly triggered. And also like I cannot get medical care there anymore because of the trash she's written. No doctor will take me seriously, now.
What the heck should I do?
And here it is bedtime and now sleep...ha, yeah, right. Last night I took melatonin and did sleep pretty well. But now I'm all anxious. I hate to take Seroquel, but I guess I will. I don't know how else to sleep. Maybe 25mg instead of the 50 I took a few nights ago.
I'm sorry, you guys. I guess I'm just really angry and very hurt. I hope you're all having a peaceful night (or day), and I hope Jennifer checks in. That rash sounds concerning.

You could try asking your therapist about this.
He sounds horrible.
Bastard.contact his governing board?
I don't know what to say.
That is very frustrating. I would be pissed.
