My pdoc weaned me off clonazepam b/c he felt it was causing me too much forgetfulness. I'm still forgetful now but not nearly as much. It was tough as I'd been taking 4mg clonazepam for over 10 year. It took about a year to completely wean off it. Sometimes, I'm glad of it, sometimes not. But for my overall health, it's probably better. If you still have 2 refills left, your pdoc probably will renew it once you run out of refills. Now my pdoc just tells me to take extra hydroxyzine for panic attacks. I suppose it sort of works, but not great. In the past, he had me take 25 mg of Seroquel for panic attacks, which worked better. He didn't prescribe the low dose Seroquel again, but I have such a surplus of Seroquel, I've chopped some down to 25 mg. just in case.

My mood is better this morning. I feel really bad b/c I went to bed way before H cleaned up all the mess from the drywall. But sleep hygiene is SOO important to my stability. I mess up my sleep, stability is soon out the window. H still isn't finished with the drywall; he just got the old drywall down and the mess cleaned up from that and still has to put the new drywall up today. I hope it won't be such a big deal as taking down the old drywall. That shot my anxiety sky high yesterday.

This morning, I went for a walk/jog but I left way early, like 45 min. before sunrise b/c I was up; my cat Pecan was walking/jumping all over me while I was in bed, wanting me to get up and feed her, and I just couldn't sleep once she woke me up. But I still got around 8 hr. of sleep, so that's good

Ugh. Some dissociation this morning., really hate when that happens. Not sure what might have triggered it. Sometimes it has a trigger, sometimes not.
