I have done so much research on this drug, I even brought in a file folder with me to show him, but he did not even look at it. He has no idea to what extent I suffer. I live in Canada, and if you have a family GP, he has to be the one to prescribe my meds and has the control of sending me to a professional or a detox clinic. I have all the info on PAWS, but he has to want to read it!

Pardon this seeming rude, but have you tried bringing a man with you? There's a lot of evidence that women in particular aren't listened to by doctors, even with female docs! I'm only guessing you're a woman from your username.

I get the frustration of trying to get a doctor to listen to you. You and your medical problems deserve attention and care. Especially when you went out of your way to provide information!

I wasn't aware that you live in Canada when I responded to your post concerning Clonazapam. I still think you need to let your government insurance official know what your needs are and ask for their intervention on your behalf. Best of luck to you in asking for 100%of what you need right now.
