I used to be on Klonopin which I rarely used, I would use it maybe a few times a month when it was really necessary, now management changed at the clinic I go to and they won't prescribe benzos anymore. Funny how the people who really need it get screwed over and the ones like my neighbor who is simply an alcoholic and ate klonopin like candy to get high had no problem getting bottle after bottle

Thank you. I'm exhausted of my entire family. The first thing my 5 year old nephew said to me when I walked out of my room? "Auntie. You need to move out. Mommy needs her room."

It was my room to begin with..

Yeah I asked my pdoc for a benzo to help me with acute anxiety I've been having and he acted like I was a druggie looking for a fix. Went on about how he couldn't prescribe benzo's even though they had me on ativan for about a month when I first started seeing them. I got diazepam off my GP, if they knew that they wouldn't be too happy.

I don't understand. Doctors are so scared of the dea and saving their own asses now that they refuse to prescribe meds that ACTUALLY help. Pain medication is way harder to get. After almost 6 years, I finally got a referral to a pain specialist.

They're against PRN's unless you're in a hospital inpatient setting.
Yes, they were a lot more lenient before the benzos started getting classified Controlled substances. Even for a long time after that doctors were used to writing scrips for them and they weren't hard to get. Now it's gotten/getting very different.
Thanks for this!

I was I could gain weight. I've been eating more and purposely eating entire packs of junk food and candy and I'm still losing weight. I had the gastric sleeve surgery in February 2014 and my surgeon said he made it "extra tight". Now I'm down to 120lbs. I told my mom yesterday and of course her response was "get off all those drugs". I'm terrified I'll end up having to get a feeding tube, regardless of me eating more than i used to. Sure I can eat big amounts at once, but I can eat every 30 minutes. I don't get why I'm still losing weight. it scares me. I used to weigh 265lbs. I can't even look at myself in the mirror. I looked at myself fully in the mirror only once sense surgery. I instantly fell to my knees and almost into a panic attack because I was disgusted at how I look now and how deformed I look. I've never looked in the mirror sense. I'll look at parts of me but now myself fully.

I can understand prescribing benzo's for like a month to help acute anxiety but blanket bans on them is a bit ridiculous, especially when it takes a long time for anti anxiety medication to work.

Same here. :/ that's why I'm on apparently an extremely high dose of Xanax and probably why my secondary diagnosis is panic disorder.

I'm glad you're still here. I'll be 24 in November. I've attempted more times than I can count. I'm surprised I'm still alive as well.

Ah. Well weight is always fluctuating throughout the day so you have to weight yourself under similar circumstances every time. But even if you did gain 10 back that's not that bad.

SometimesP - I want to hear more about that date! As far as kissing goes - it kinda depends on what type of kissing and how I feel about them.

Tell us more!

I gave into my stress and bought a pack of cigarettes. If you lived closer and I had my own transportation, I would say we could hang out sometime. It was nice of you to give your stepdad a gift.
