My main medication for “ anxiety “ is Clonazepam 1 mg “ as needed for anxiety “ so says this bottle that I picked up for spelling purposes. I realized that the reason that I’m taking them has changed ON THE BOTTLE Another bottle says “ as needed for sleep “
The VA is not happy that I’m not taking one of their approved medications for Cyclothymia. Most psyche meds do not agree me.
But this is about waiting too long to reorder the Clonazepam but the beauty of having a PO Box is that I can go to my box 24/7 and there in my over stuffed ( with junk mail ) was my white bag. But I just opened it to find Buspar, another medication that doesn’t turn me into a madman. But I didn’t need buspar I need Clonasapam. I have no idea how it got confused but when I last spoke with the lady who took the order over the phone as well as a request to speak with the pharmacologist who has a PhD in medications to call me about the D deficiency since my pcp sent me the 50k units of D2 but no orders for blood work. She repeated my requests but now when I have one pill left I have the wrong refill.
I’m not sure if these emotional swings are do to the low D but these mistakes that are happening more and more but the invalidation by my doctors truly makes coping near impossible.
All of the symptoms that Theresa told me about in the link she posted are really mentally and physically changing me. I probably can get an RX called in by private pcp but if this is one of this drugs that I need a hard copy to get filled I’ll need to drive 52 miles RT just to get a hold me over. If this kind of BS doesn’t happen at least twice a week it doesn’t happen at all. I’ve been wanting to ask to be hospitalized for some R and R but they don’t do R and R in a normal ward they want to put you in lock down. I know that lock down will lead to bad things.
I’m not going to the ER no matter what.
Sometimes I wish that I had one of those docs who could comfort me with words. Now I fear advice from any of the usual suspects.
Not that I expect to hear the right advice here but I need to just get it out

I've been taking Clonazepam for 13 years now. Like you, I cut it too close a couple of times. I get almost all of my meds from Humana Pharmacy, a mail order pharmacy.
When I need to get a refill, I call my doctor and he sends an electronic prescription to which ever pharmacy I designate. Too often the doctor's staff send it to the wrong one. Usually I don't even make a phone call. I just go online to my doctor's site and text my request.
I have a 1mg with a second mg if needed, so I get more than I need. An advantage of the mail order is that they process scrips ten days ahead of the refill date, to allow for mail or FedEx to get it to me in time. They usually send 90 day refills, though not for controlled substances, i.e. Clonazepam. Those only come monthly.
A month ago I did the same thing. I thought I had another bottle, but I was dismayed when I only had enough for two days. I pressed the doctor's office and asked them to send it to the local pharmacy. Somehow they sent it to one 30 miles away. When I finally figured it out I told them just to forget about getting it rerouted, and I drove to Walmart, 30 miles from my house.
Good luck. It's no fun to run out of Clonazepam. You can't just stop taking it.
