Please, I ask for your prayers as I continue my taper:
The new neurologist (who is on vacation) outlined a program for titrating off of Clonazapam:
The taper continues from taking 4-5 pills a day
to :
1. a gradual taper to one pill a day for a month.
(Two halves) per day went well.
2. I tried the next stage: a half pill a day ...and had what seemed like a seizure.
Since my new doctor who outlined my titration off of Clon is on vacation I called the initial
prescribing doctor: He said “You are no longer my patient.”
Our family doctor and the P..A. in the practice made sure that I had enough Clon to complete my taper.
(The doctor who outlined my taper is on vacation.)
I find it ? That the original prescriber would not even talk to me... he emailed me. “You are no longer my patient.”
We are strong and carry on. If you take a Benzo, seek help. There IS help and hope for you.
benzodiazepine! That word has given new meaning to my life and more understanding of those who are dependent on drugs, alcohol, ...and ?
Stay safe and take care of you.... That will enable you to be the best you ..and to help others.
