i still think it would be good to touch base with him. he can't help you if he doesn't know you are hurting.

Hi,
I made a big mess.
Over the weekend, the affects of the extra Klonopin were ok for a day or so.
Today, that did not work out well.
I had 4 hours of sleep. Then around 11:45 am I took .5 as an experiment.
I was relaxed but still had chest pains off and on.
Also, I think I am grinding my teeth at night -- jaw feels off.
At 12:00 midnight a few minutes ago I took my usual dose (since November) of 2.0 because I am still hung over from the .5.
I'm done messing around with the Klonopin.
Work slows down in two weeks.
I will be able to get more sleep soon.
Pdoc's appt is July. I will call to make the an appt. sooner.
