ended up calling psych late,he prescribed Kolonopin for a week,nada more

[thedawn]

well,I'm going through a divorce and I've been reducing my psych meds and theses two things
sent me over the emotional edge yesterday,last night.
I briefly considered the ER,but don't want no 5150 or being taken away from my cats.

I ended up calling ,my doc who amazingly picked up.
he knows my story.

he thought low doses of klonopin in the morning so I can eat and go to meetings.
I didn't know.it's a benzo.I have a history of abuse.

we talked and agreed on i.5 mg every morning for a week.
I want 2.0 three times a day but thats my addict speaking.

it's obviously not good to be back on a benzo but hopefully it will play out ok.

taking only at 5 or before in the morning,then i put the pills away.

pls dont criticize me for taking clonzepam right now.
I don't need it and I am fragile.

I was with ,my wife for 15 fucking years.
there are routines that needs to be changed.
no more valentines day.
no more sex.
no more conversation daily.

I'm not asking anything with this thread as I have resigned myself to what's going on.
but maybe some other addict has gone through something similar.

Divorce is brutal and reducing your meds at the same time probably screws with your already raw emotions. I haven't been through what you are going through but you have a great heart (I know this from your posts to others) and sensitive hearts can be very fragile. You lost a lot and it makes sense to grieve for that loss.

you have a history of abuse with benzos but didnt know klonopin was a benzo?you are beter off not taking the klonopin as your mind is already trying to rationalize taking more..its like a heroin addict getting prescribed morphine or fentenyl, what do you think is going to happen in all likelihood??

Divorces can be really hard, especially when it's not your choice. The klonopin might help your anxiety just try not to take more than your doctor suggested. You said you're reducing your psych meds. Is your doctor switching you to something else?

You're in a fragile state so that by itself can add to stress. But you don't want to lean too hard on medications to get you through. I think talk therapy would benefit you now. Maybe there are support groups in your area you can look into. Of course, we're here too! You don't have to struggle alone.
