I know the feeling. The nurse said the doc did not feel comfortable prescribing me more without me coming in the office to be seen.. mind you, has not been a year since I seen him

Reminds me of a script a specialist doctor told me I would need the rest of my life. (for a different type of condition)
That same doc reassured me at 3 visits, that it is was safe and necessary. Yet, about 8 months later, they didn't want to renew it without me coming in for a visit?!

And that script, like you two mentioned, i do NOT use the dose they gave me. I use half the dose, so it lasts twice as long, but they still think I would over-use it? when they said, I NEED twice as much, as I take?

I am disabled and have great difficulty getting there. The nurse said the doctor must "see how i am doing"

"I am doing fine if i have the script he said i must have. Not so good when it runs low, even tho i am making it last twice as long"

I've been taking Klonipin (a benzodiazepam) for several years. Then I find out that it's affecting my memory. So I'm trying to wean off right now. Fish oil and cannabis are helpful (cannabis is legal here).

This is one of the reasons I am not on meds... I cannot be at the mercy of a dr. And not everybody abuse their meds so why do the rest of us have to be punished. I understand they have to pay their bills to stay in practice.. but should not be at the expense of your patients. I am soooooo glad I kept my dose low.. if not and I had severe panic attacks, I would be at the ER and my doc may be facing a lawsuit... I'm just saying. It gets to me when people need meds and docs are playing the money game.. I see why people are doing whatever they can for what help they need... Ok, just had to vent.

I only had Valium once. Back when I was in the Air Force I hurt my back moving one of those big metal lockers and the Doc prescribed me some Valium and Librium. That was some really good stuff!

If I could get a steady supply of it cheap I'd probably stay high on that most of the time. :)

I think that’s why it’s so addictive to done. People like the way it makes them feel

What did she go through? What were her withdrawal symptoms?

I’m not sure. At the time I didn’t live there.
She was drinking alcohol with them also. I think she may have been taking more than her prescription but I really don’t know. After that I moved out west on my motorcycle and didn’t see her for a couple of years.
