my pdoc gives me 2 refills for all of my meds,

I see her every 3 months and she charges me $98 for the visit/med check.
I wonder why you have to go monthly?

I'm glad that you can still have the same doctor.

The frequency at which people see their pdocs differs. Right now I'm seeing my pdoc every 4-6 weeks, but I've had to go every week in the past.

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.
