> Two topics in one might want to post on meds also. Know fear and seriously could be good for you. Sounds like you're very debilitated in ability to go out at all. How do you get to your doc appointments? Phillipa
Thanks for the quick reply Phillipa,
And thanks, I'll trust your opinion and I do hope it will be good.
Yes, you're right, I rarely ever go out and only when I absolutely have to. Luckily I've been living w/ my friend for all these years (who evidently is also a mental case as he's living w/ me, but a "normal" functioning one in society) and I either borrow his car or he drives me to the Dr or whatnot. Yes, it's all unusual and crazy but it is what is.And the woman I see at the place I've been going to is actually a nurse practitioner... she knows it's an ordeal for me to get there so she conveniently allows me to see her once every three months!
She should insist that I see her at least every month as she knows everything about me and knows I'm in mental hell and I tell her frequently of my suicide plans... but she's also the same woman who somehow screwed up one day last year and doubled my RX of Klonopin from .5 milligrams 3x a day to 1 milligram 3x a day.
I thought it may have been the pharmacy's error but when I next saw her she gave me the double amount again so evidently she had written it down in my chart and never noticed that she screwed it up.
She's very nice but I found this to be an outrageous mistake. Of course I'm not going to tell her this, but I never even took the .5 milligrams 3x a day, I took less and sometimes more depending on how I felt. Now I have ridiculous left over amounts of the 1 milligrams which I save along with the bottles of ambien that I rarely take any of yet she prescribes.There's no renewal allowed on the Klonopin so she/the receptionist conveniently mails me a new prescription on the two month that I don't see her.
So, not only is she giving me enough meds to kill a horse with, but she's also mailing some of them to me (in RX form).
