after april I will probably go every four months. you can't here write refills for clonopin for more than a month. I think I am going to go off it because it doesn't do much good and it isn't worth 53 dollars a month and after april I will be charged about 150 a 15 minute session.

I am so depressed at this change.

I have been shaking. I am so upset. I wonder if I should try a recommendation from the doctor for a doctor who takes medicare. I also need a doctor who will write me excuses for jury duty. I don't know what to do. I am disabled. I can't really do steps. I almost fell yesterday climbing four and almost fell out of the cab. I can only walk at most three blocks.
I bought a new computer which robert will install. I have all the passwords I will have to change. a lot are written down. the clonopin isn't helping and I feel as if I am spinning. I had to change all the credit cards. I think I have one more to do. I wish I could fall asleep. as usual I only got about four hours of sleep.

How much klonipin are you taking?
They say it can wear off in effectiveness having to take more and more for desired effects.
Tapering can be very difficult if that is what you are thinking and it takes a long time.There is a taper method called the ashton method calls for a very slow decrease like .125mg increments at a time. It is best to switch to valium because that comes in smaller doses and can even be in liquid form so easier to taper off of it. You have to be really motivated to discontinuing it as it will take a long time. You do not want to go cold turkey.

First, see if you can find a pdoc, is that what you guys call the doctor.
That will take medicare?
Next the fact that you need an doctor that will write the jury duty request.
This honestly with the mobility issues you have. Can also be your doctor
that is your primary, your heart doctor. Because of your stroke.

Any of your doctor's that deal with your health issues can explain the reason's you can't walk more than a few steps, and honestly that an wheelchair and being up for long times isn't acceptable.

Now please when it comes to getting rid of your clothes. Another idea is that many senior center's will also be able to help with people that need these.
And disability programs, can come get them. Because they have people that
not only can't afford the clothes but really need them. And would love them.

I know this doctor and I trust him. what if I get another one and he to goes off of medicare. they are all doing it.last time I tried to get a psychiatrist i tried over thirty of them withno luck and finally asked an acquaintance in the building who told me about him and his accepting medicare. I don't think I want to risk it. clonopin isn't working. I was such a wreck yesterday and this week and it didn't help and it doesn't help. I want to change gps. I called my neurologist yesterday and left a message but didn't get a call back. I don't know if i should make an appointment or what. I don't know when I will get a jury duty summons. it could be a year or more. I don't know if I should make an appt with the new doctor and for what reason do I tell him? Just that I want to switch to him.
I feel so awful. I can't deal with anymore stress and it is even too stressful to call an agency to pick up the clothes. I am too burnt out. Pudge didn't eat much today. Physically I also feel awful. I really am not functioning. It hurts to walk and my stomach is bothering me and I feel so exhausted.

I think I am going to make an appt with the new g.p. and also ask him if he writes scripts for antidepressants. If so, maybe I just won't see a psychiatrist. right now I am feeling so much anger towards my pdoc. He is to greedy about the cost for calling in prescriptions.

I am going to tell the doctor I can't afford it and see whom he recommends who takes medicare. I will call the new g.p. this week for an appt. I will also ask him if he would write script for antidepressant that I am now taking. Maybe I won't need a psychiatrist.
the new computer came today. Robert said he will install it. It will be a nightmare about passwords. More stress. Pudge hasn't gone yet to eat more. I skipped the klonopin because it doesn't work anyways. It went better than I thought changing all the places that use my credit card. I deleted the old one so those scammers don't have it.
