Thanks for your response. I guess the problem between the GP and the pharmacy was that he CALLED in the Ativan. Then the pharmacist told him "well, you know he's taking Tranzene from Dr. *****, why are you giving him another benzo?" And I guess that caught my GP in an embarassing situation, as our state laws (South Carolina) are very archaic in the area of even C-IV and C-V meds. So he called me back and said for me to increase my Tranzene when I had more anxiety. It had been several months since my GP wrote the Ativan originally (the first time THAT particular pharmacist didn't say squat!). So, I guess I could have pushed the issue with my GP, but I felt he was "bending" the rules by prescribing me meds (Ambien, and then the Ativan) w/o my Pdoc's knowledge. I guess that's your "doctor shopping" deal. My catch-22 is similar, because if I push my Pdoc for additional benzos, or tell him I *need* the Ambien, he may cancel my CS card altogether. Sooooo......that's my situation.
