Please bear with me - I need some advice.
Last night I went to take my usual bedtime cocktail (WB, Amiltriptyline and klonopin) and I noticed that a whole bottle of klonopin had disappeared. The prescription was about 2 weeks old I think and there were probably 20-25 pills, I'm guessing. I had it the night before. I turned my bathroom upside down, and although I can't ever recall taking it out of my bathroom, I searched pretty hard in my adjacent bedroom and in my handbag. There are only 3 alternatives I can see, and they all stink. Either I'm more forgetful and addled than even I think I am in the worst of times, or someone in my house took them (I have spouse, 2 teenagers and a couple of houseguests) or someone walked into my perpetually unlocked house while we were all at the movies and took them.
This is distressing in the extreme, and I sort of think I may never know what happened unless I happen to trip over them some day. However, selfishly my most immediate problem is how to replace them. I take very little klonopin but it's frequently pretty essential if I want to sleep.
This prescription was so new, I'm a ways off from a refill. I'm assuming my insurance won't cover more since I shouldn't have run out. I can quite figure out what to tell my pdoc, and I can't imagine what she's going to think - is she likely to refill this when I have no adequate explanation as to what happened to them?
Any advice as to how to handle this would be greatly appreciated.
