Anna,
Thanks for your reply. No, I never abused it. In fact, when it was prescribed for me, I had no idea what it even was, and was never told that it was addictive. I was a little bit angered by that, because when I went off of it I went through a terrible withdrawel that I was not expecting. I went away to Texas to stay with a friend at the end of the summer a couple of years ago, and ran out of meds. I didn't think it any big deal since I had never gone through any withdrawels from any of them before. And I knew I would be back on them in a few weeks. But the Klonopin....oh, geez, that's the only thing you have to watch out for with that.
You are right, I should tell my doctor what I wrote in here. My husband says the same thing. But it is difficult for me to express myself in person due to my social phobia, especially since I don't know this doctor very well. I usually find myself just nodding and agreeing with whatever the doctor says, speaking quietly, and then hating myself for it for days afterwards.
