Psychiatrist is out of town... URGENT

[technooo]

I have been on 3 mg of klonopin for almost a year now and my psych makes me come in every month to get a refill, he likes charging money. I don't make my appointments basically the day before or I go in and just wait to be seen because of my work schedule changing so often. I was supposed to go in Friday but when I called the machine picked up and said he was out of town and he would be from dec. 23rd til the 10th of January. He didn't tell me 3 weeks ago when I went in that he was going on vacation at all.

I took the last of my prescription on Saturday and I am now suffering some serious WD symptoms. I'm afraid I'm going to have a seizure if I have to wait that long.

How can I get my prescription? I have some financial problems so I cannot just go to a doctor and pay 100-200$ to get my prescription or go to the ER. I can get the record of everytime I've picked up my prescription at walgreens printed out, will that help?

Any input would be great! Please

i would try talking to the pharmacist in charge at walgreens, explain the situation,
and be like call my dr , i dunno

but
if i was sketching out bad i would say fuck it and get my records and go to the ER with them and explain

But would the ER actually prescribe me my prescription or just like give me enough until
He comes back. And would it cost me Alot?

will the dr write you a script i dunno it depends on the dr , but i dont see any problem if you got all your records you cant just discontinue that kinda medication like that.

the price
depends on the hospital, but if you have no insurance
you can apply for charity care, you may even luck out and get free insurance at that hospital for a year

Walk-in care I find has been more helpful than an ER doctor. I'm thinking of doing the same, myself

Any other info?

A lot of doctors have another doctor that covers their patients when they go away. Is he the only doctor at this office, or it there a receptionist and other doctors there? If there are several doctors there, I would show up and speak to the receptionist. And no emergency number on his card? My doctor has an emergency contact number for when he is gone.

Also, some states don't allow refills on benzos, so that may be why he makes the monthly appointments.
