Re: Re: Annette's scrip for pb&j

[Guest guest]

Dear Annette, I was strolling through the messages and read this one and after I

stopped cussing I just had to say, Please find another doctor, what an arrogant

creep. My doc has a lot of knee pain from basketball.

Maybe that's what you need a doctor that knows what a little pain feels like. I

wonder if calling down the names in the yellow pages and asking the receptionist

" has the doctor ever had a lot of pain or any painful chronic conditions? "

One of the posts said something about a shrink. If you don't have one, you

might want to get an anziety disorder or something because mine is wonderful

about writing big prescribtions for Klonipin. I also grind my teeth, and read

that klonipin has non-seizure features and helps with teeth grinding, and it

does. It also helped my severe headaches. So I asked him for klonipin. All the

other Docs I was seeing at the time were scared to death to write a tiny script

for it. My shrink writes 160 refilable X 3 I don't even take it everyday.

But, when I need it, it's great!

I'm doing a slow burn in your behalf, and then I'll be saying a prayer for you,

Pam

severe insomnia he

wrote me a prescrition for peanut butter and jeely sandwiches and milk while

watching TV!

i agree with Pam about getting another doctor, pb & j come on now. I go threw

pain management clinic its the only way i can get the meds i need to get me

threw the day, I aslo have a hard time falling asleep and they gave me a scrip

for Ambin and it works well for me at times it depends on how much pain i am in.

Hi Pam,

Thanks for writing. I have quit that Dr. but he helped me with my viral

encephalitis which nobody beleives in. That he beleived in until I had a baby. I

actually was having seizures too which nobody beleived or the severe insomnia,

about 2 hours of sleep a week. I went to a psychiatrist I used to see and he did

give me anti seizure meds Depakote which I ran out of and nobody would giv me

and Klonopin which nobody would put me back on either. He is great. I wish the

Klonopin helped me w/ anxiety. Ever since I was taken off all my meds cold

turkey and in a coma from that, I have a paradoxical affect to meds and anti

depressants and anti anxiety meds cause anxiety and anger. I even throw things.

We tried every anti dpressant, anti seizure, tranqu., anti psychotic everything

for my sleep but nothing worked. I either get the oppossite or I stay awake,

Actually I have not slept in 2 days. I am under alot of stress too which is

adding to my insomnis right now but I would be in worse shape w/out my shrink.

I wish he could be my neurologist or internist b/c he understands al my problems

but can only give me meds that he can give out as a sshrink. Depakote can be

used for manice depression and Klonopin for anxiety but u get them for seizures

and sleep. he is great. Every Dr. who understands my problems and is nice has

their own speciality and cannot help me. My GI Dr. feels bad for me too.

My (former) Dr. is 90 and plays golf. Never been sick but doesn't know his mind

is going!Please pray I find another Dr. someday. I had a good one but he

retired early without telling me in Jan. of 2001 and his partner put me in a

coma. He told me to get off my *ss and exercise and that I am imagining I have

been sick all these years. If I waasn't sick, why did he put me in a nursing

home???

Thanks Pam,

Annette

Hi Raven, (you Goth) (KIDDING) I know they look at you and form a judgement. I

was a junior in college when I got sick and so they had to diagnose that I

wanted to get out of college (even though I brought my books to the hospital

with me). I had a friend who was a musician and they treated her like you, she

wanted drugs.

Kava and Melatonin make me paranoid for some reason. I do take 2 mg. Klonopin

and Depakote. Some nights it helps, some not. I also need to learn to relax but

now i have added stress. I have way too much stress in my life and my mind won't

shut down either to sleep. So much is negative around me besides my own health.

The Klonopin used to work better, now it seems I am always tired though even if

I do sleep but I am always needing to catch up on sleep. I can go days without

any so if then i get 8 hours, I am still 24 behind, so always needing more. I

sleep at all odd hours too which doesn't help. Thanks for caring!

Annette
