> What do you mean go there unmedicated? And now a new diagnosis of bipolar 2? Well if you blow up maybe that would result in inpatient treatment. Give it a try could work for you. For me hearing others stories kind of makes me feel better if their's is worse. But I'm confused why the doubling of klonopin???? Phillipa
Hi Phillipa,
Well I am on meds now, but what I meant was that the Psych. who I just saw (and who said I was BP 2) didn't write me a prescription for anything (despite saying what he thinks I should take, and saying that the Wellbutrin I currently take is probably making my anxiety worse).I have no clue when I'll be seeing him so he's just sending me into a group next Thurs (I should have said) without being 'properly medicated' first.
This woman (who runs the program) was talking about how they discuss anger management skills and whatnot: Well that's all great, but if I was properly medicated I wouldn't have extreme rage... so why would I need anger management class/skills?It doesn't make sense.
The Klonopin doubling incident was from the current nurse practitioner I see (and have been seeing for years). On one visit to her she somehow screwed up and wrote me an RX for double the amount of Klonopin I had been getting for several years. I never told her and she never noticed her mistake.
I have no idea how she could have made such a mistake. On one hand it's understandable as she's only human, but on the other hand it's a potentially deadly mistake which she obviously should not be making.
And if softheprairie and jouezmoi are reading this I just wanted to say thanks for your replies and I'll reply to your posts a little later...
It's FOX cartoon night and I'm sure everyone here will be glued to their TV's watching along with me! :O)
