In reply to Get a new doc ASAP » utopizen, posted by Jack Smith on March 6, 2003, at 15:09:08
Oh JACK? my doc says 2mg is too much Klonopin! What do you think? Talk about a benzo-phobic-she wants me to wean down to 1mg a day-that's it-I don't know......Even my pdoc prescribed Ativan-she has no problem. Why are docs like this?
As long as a person is withdrawn slowly and under a docs care-when and if that time comes, what is the big deal?
frustrates the heck out of me-some docs.
Also, I get EXTREMELY intimidated when I ask about another med. I asked about GEODON last visit and she remarked "What?-You wanna try every drug on the market" UUUGGHHH I think I need a new doc What do you think?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Kristen:-)

Where are you? Your doc seems to be extremely odd. I have never heard of such a benzo-phobic p-doc. Most p-docs rave about benzos so long as they are used correctly and in patients with no history of addiction. What decade is this doctor living in? Even most GP's would be more open to prescribing benzo's.
Get a referral for someone else. Didn't your pdoc's colleague recommend klonopin and nardil??? Why have you not explored nardil? It seems perfect for your symptoms. I also seem to remember you telling us that your pdoc discounted nardil altogether. At that time, however, you described him as "well-respected" and you told us to "get off the nardil bandwagon."
Your doctor's comments about girls are extremely insensitive. What world does he live in? I agree with his statements if this was a perfect world but it's not and, like it or not, girls are not just going to magically be interested in you when you cannot talk to them!
I really suggest a new doctor quick. YOU DESERVE BETTER. Anti-psychotics should not be used until you have AT LEAST tried benzo's. Moreover, MAOI's are a better option than antipsychotics. You are young, the quicker you get control of this the better. You need agressive treatment but not stupid treatment. If you have to, use whatever savings you can if your health plan won't give you a better doctor. THIS IS YOUR LIFE!!!!!!
