Someone took a good tenday's worth of my prescription from me this month. It means that I haven't had my sleeping meds in over a week, and I haven't ha my clonazepam for 8 days. I've been unable to go to my doctor, they copied my health card number down wrong on my first visit; sadly, I've misplaced my card. I wouldn't go to the doctor or ER anyway, because I figured I would look like I was abusing/selling my medication; I honestly think they'd just have denied it me if I went early. Well, yesterday was when my script would normally need filling, so I'm going to go to the hospital to get it, because they have my card number still, at least. Great, I haven't slept for well over 72 hours, FINALLY. And yet, it dawns on me, I'm going to have to explain why I'm not going to my regular doctor, who I just got. It's Sunday, so they can't possibly call my Dr. to ask him to verify the need for my prescriptions; that I hadn't already got them through him.

Wonderful. Because they think I'm a drug seeker (I can only suppose), they'll probably deny me my meds, at least halting my clonazepam, which I badly need. I'm starting to withdraw pretty heavily, and I'm also hallucinating slightly to my visual senses, and moderately to my hearing. Now I get to walk to the hospital, and pretty much beg to get medications I NEED.

I'm just disgusted with this stuff. I haven't lost any of my meds, to their knowledge, for over a year, and they're treating me like CRAP! I can't even fully express my disappointment with the hospital here, and for my Dr.'s office for having failed to correctly copy my number down when I did have it. They're probably going to charge me $50 for missing an appointment I couldn't go to because I lost my card.

I just hate this shit. I'm too fucking sick for this right now, and I need sleep but I can't damned well do it. :!

I guess I have to start walking and try. Wish me luck, I suppose.
 
As a last option, go to the ER. Benzo WDs can be fatal, and you're not out of seizure territory yet because of clonazepam's long half life. They'll probably make you pay a lot, but will most likely give you a little diazepam to tide you over/prevent seizures.
