Yeah I miss the guy to pieces, but you know... I can always find something to be annoyed about, lol.

I am not blaming my ex-psychiatrist for my benzo addiction. Of course addiction is no one's fault. However, I was honest with my pdoc that I was using Klonopin VERY inappropriately, and I asked him for help tapering down. He had me on six mg per day, which is probably a lot for a normal human being, but for me it was significantly lower. However, he never suggested I go to treatment, never warned me about the potentially lethal consequences of trying to wean myself off of my 11-year addiction, and basically never called me back to help me out. However, every time I would call him and say, "I'm going through withdrawals, I need more," he would never cease to call the pharmacy.

I left a msg. for T to let him know that I was seeing a new pdoc at the dual-diagnosis place I go to for treatment. He left me a msg back, acting all shocked that I am not seeing ex-pdoc anymore. In the past he has said that pdoc is a good doctor. T was the one who pretty much insisted I get addiction treatment-- but he never said anything about ex-pdoc. They used to work together at the same agency before T switched agencies.

I dunno... I just feel annoyed by this. I feel like T is not on my side or something.

Look at it realistically; he'd have to be shocked since it's new information to him and he use to work with ex-pdoc (and may not know new one?). It doesn't have anything to do with you yet until he gets up to speed and learns about your new situation and what's going on now; he's several car-lengths behind :-)
