I'm sorry you had such a bad day, Mari :hug::hug::hug:

I have seen some commercials lately for telephone/internet therapy. I don't know if that is something you would be interested in, but here are some links:

I hope today is a better day for you, Mari :hug::hug::hug:

I have to go to the dentist Thursday afternoon at 5:00. The last time I went
I had something very close to a panic attack. It's possible I did not take Klonopin, although I do most times.


I am worried about driving home in afterwork traffic with Klonopin.
'Seems like 0.5 will be a good amount -- right up to the edge of being safe on
the road. I DON'T KNOW.:confused:
Also I get Nitrous oxide.
After I get out of the chair, I sit for a while in the waiting room to let the Nitrous oxide leave my system a little.

I hope getting to the dentist and getting through your appointment go smoothly today Mari :hug::hug::hug:

It sounds like quite an ordeal. I wish that things were easier for you :hug:

I am glad they offer nitrous oxide to you.
That should help.
((((HUGS))))

Thanks.
Came home safely from the Dentist.

I'm not that great with the steps that they want from me: brush, water pic, . . . .

So I need the visits.

I prioritize sleep over everything. Certainly and not going to wake myself up
to brush teeth for example.


Feeling the effects of the Klonopin for sure right now. I wonder if I can take less tonight or if I need my regular amount to sleep.

M

I hope that you were able to get to sleep easily without having to get up and take more Klonopin (unless you decided to just take your normal dose anyway).

Have you been sleeping more/better lately?

Re the Klonopin:
I took part of my nightly dose for the dentist and took the rest of the dose
at night -- so my total klonopin was the same amount.


I've been sleeping ok -- have to work more on getting to bed early enough
to be able to get up in the morning so I can be awake during the day.


M

you are sounding better.
((((HUGS))))

I'm glad that you've seen some improvement, Mari. That's great :)
I hope that you're able to find a way to get to bed earlier. I know it can be hard :hug:
