This kind of behavior from a nurse or any other doctor INFURIATES me to no end. I would start by asking for Klonopin - as others have already suggested. Doctors aren't as phobic about it. Perhaps remind the nurse to look up "compassion." Go see a real psychiatrist and not a nurse - if at all possible. No offense to any nurses - but my mom's in the profession and she's seen too many nurses become too jaded too quickly for whatever reason. You'd think they'd have picked a different line of work to go into. The nurse/doctor works for YOU. Be as assertive as you can.
Why isn't there a campaign to stop such inhumane treatment from doctors and nurses like this?? It's already enough we have to deal with the stigma of a mental illness.
