I thank you for the kind words.
I also understand where my doc is coming from. I mean, he is rather qualified, he's a child+adult psych., went to Harvard Med, has been published, and did work for HMOs for a time to do psychopharma consulting. So he's said he's seen people in my situation go into Klonopin junkie mode, even though drug abuse was not the cause (treating anxiety was). And de-tox resulted, and then he said if I had to go through de-tox, I couldn't ever get Klonopin for PRN again. But it's a mixed bag, I'm like, well Klonopin PRN isn't go great either, because it takes a few weeks of regular dosing for the sedatative effects to wean away.
But I'm going to see if he's more open about Soma, otherwise we sort of have this mutual understanding that I'll probably be at MGH's psychopharma dept. soon and see someone there.
