My problem as of Friday. I’ve been on 5mg Valiums for years but extreme ptsd and anxiety. I asked my Dr for a referral for a therapist because I needed to talk to someone. She got the referral for a psychiatrist who sent a message stating they would take me on as a patient but world not prescribe my Valiums. My Dr didn’t give my refills this time which has caused me more anxiety. I feel that the Dr shouldn’t cut me off cold Turkey. I need advice please
I have been on prescribed Clonazepam 0.5 mg tablets for up to six years straight now (every day doses) for calming my anxiety and OCD. After several slow attempts at tapering on my own, I ended up relapsing and going back to taking the doses. Again, I feel a need to try again, but I am afraid. My Doctor who prescribed this to me has said he wants me to stay on it for life. Lately, I wonder if I have reached a plateau because I find myself with mild memory loss, mild depression, and feeling "dull". My biggest fear is that the pharmacy will run out of this medication or I won't be able to get it anymore and that could cause my death. Leah09
