K, my pdoc was finally willing to let me try clonazepam for sp, which works. Great. Now heres the problem. He doesnt want to go above 1 mg a day (i think i need more like 3 mgs a day) and even then he wants me to stop in sept. when im going to a new school in florida. (Yes being in a totally different environment sounds like a good time to stop) anyway I cant switch docs cause that takes months here in canada, but i do feel deep down hes resonable and I could convince him. He just pins me down with answers like "Well your school wont like the fact your on something like this" and "people become dependant on this stuff and go through hell coming off it when they stay on it long on a high dose." I feel like saying "yes im sure my school would much prefer me failing my courses cause im so anxious i cant study, and always staying in my room alone because im terrified of sociallising." and "Im in hell already so there aint much to loose there." these sound like great answers but i need to add to them. I need any input i can get. I also doing cbt tell sept, so its not like i think clono is the only answer to my probs. Im doing everything i can, and getting this in order is a top priorty. Thanks
