This is part of something the therapist wrote to me about the current mess: You told me your were concerned about lack of sleep to the point of fearing hospitalization. You told me you had taken psychotropic medication . I did not bring up the topic.
What he says is entirely true. Last Wednesday I told him I had become so desperate that I had taken half of a Klonopin (.25 mg) the previous evening. That is when he asked me if I would consider taking some other kind of medication. Now I'm beginning to think the whole meltdown that morning was CAUSED by taking the Klonopin. It wouldn't be the first time a 'medicine' has made me insane. Maybe he brought it up again at that time because the situation seemed so desperate. I guess what I really needed was a feeling of comfort and security. I needed him the way he was before he got nasty with the teenage girl for remembering and crying and told her to either live in the present moment or go to a psychiatrist.

Dude... Klonopin gives me terrible rebound anxiety/panic attacks...
ReplyDeleteativan just doesn't do shit for me...
I take tiny doses of xanax prn... probably not as often as I ought to. (Definitely not as often as my husband thinks I should...).
xanax is the only thing that helps...
(oh yeah... how is this for word verification... "bashed"... seriously, its getting creepy!)
I'm confused. Was it the reaction to the klonpin physically? Or was it that you had a psychological aversion to taking meds at all?
ReplyDeleteQuit the meds?
