That is okay, Mari

I would much rather you give up on treating little rough patches on your ears so that you have more energy to put into the other things you need to do everyday

I can't imagine how much you are suffering right now, and I'm sorry that you are crying so often (((HUGS)))

When is the last time you saw your pdoc? I know that you aren't trying any new meds, but is she helpful at all?

Kay,


I last saw pdoc April 12.


I did not tell her but I've been reducing my Klonopin a little.

I want to have extras.

It's also possible that Klonopin is making my
mood worse -- I HAVE NO WAY TO KNOW.

I can understand why you would want extra Klonopin after the issues you had with your last refill, and it is comforting to know you will have some extras there if you need them

I think that Klonopin could be contributing to your low mood, but you are right, you will probably never know for sure if it is. If you need it, obviously take it tho if you take it PRN?. There's no need to suffer if the benefits outweigh the risks at the time

I wish your pdoc could do more for you. I don't think hiding the fact that you're taking a little less Klonopin would hinder that in any way

I started lowering the dose when I saw that I was running low and the
pdoc's office was being difficult.

Worse: when the script finally got straightened out the pharmacy said that they
had ORDERED it and would have it for me when it came in. ! ! !

(They did not have it in stock????)

Kay,


This is what the dosing says on the bottle:

Clonazepam 1 mg tablet

Take 1/2 tablet twice a day and 1 to 2 tablets at bedtime.

A student with a seizure disorder died in his bed in the dorm.


The other 3 boys in his room were freaked out but
the school sort of took care of them by bringing in professionals to talk to
them and such.
They also moved the 3 living boys to a new building so that they could
be in different (better ?) environment.

It's so sad that the boy passed away, especially with 3 others in the room. I don't know how close they all were, but hope they will be okay. It sounds like the school is doing everything they can to help them, but I hope they also have support from family and friends

I had a BIG problem getting Klonopin from CVS at one point. Not only did they not have any in stock, but all the CVS's in the area were out of stock, too for well over a week, maybe two. I don't remember. They said it was a problem with the manufacturer, even tho they use multiple manufacturers...
I'm sorry that you are having the same problem that I did. I suggest you ask if they can transfer your script to another location of your pharmacy that has Klonopin in stock, or another local pharmacy that has it. You can't wait until the 11th, and it would ruin your plan for having extras (((HUGS)))

How are you taking your Klonopin now vs. taking it as prescribed? And are you taking the lower dose consistently? How do you feel since making the change?

That is sad about the boy. Glad that they moved the students some place better.Can't imagine how upsetting this is for them.
Hope you get your klonipin!
((((HUGS))))
