I just wanted to add, my doctor is prescribing me Desoxyn with no concern, and antipsychotics (I last tried Abilify for two weeks, felt no differently, but did get akathasia so stopped). Yet Klonopin? Oh, only prn.
This makes no sense whatsoever. I just left a message with my GP asking her to take over my meds or offer me a referral. Why would a p-doc give out methamphetamine with no hesitation but after a year and a half of realizing nothing whatsoever works but Klonopin, he's too hesitant to prescribe that? I even had a consult with a colleague of his who told me he's talk some sense into him after I told him Gabitril, which was prescribed to avoid Klonopin, put me into a psychotic episode. So that's the only reason why I kept seeing him-- I figured that his colleague would have better success at convincing him than I did.
Well apparently nothing's getting through to him. Now my pdoc says I should not bother about girls because if a girl isn't comfortable with my anxiety, she shouldn't be friends with me. What on earth kind of thinking is that?!!?!? I'M not comfortable with my own anxiety, for goodness sakes.
Whatever "gain" I'm getting from avoiding Klonopin must be pretty good, because he's willing to put me into psychotic episodes for them I guess. And this Risperdal is making me very tired, but I still have anxiety anyway. Klonopin didn't make me tired. And I tried to convince him K doesn't make me dulled, but he still thinks I have to choose between ADD or anxiety as a priority at every appt., I guess he thinks treating my anxiety will hurt my ADD. This guy is nuts.
