> Wow -- if you already know that Klonopin works, couldn't you just take that instead? I'm not qualified to challenge your pdoc, but it seems like that would be a lot safer (and less complicated). Or is he benzophobic too?
>Well actually this is a doc from Beth Isreal. He consulted for an hour, and will now talk to my benzophobic doc (which knows him) and talk about me. Basically a way for my benzophobic doc to be able to charge me a $75 doctor phone talk charge instead of actually treating me.
Um, anyway, hopefully this doc will let my benzophobic doc realize my case ain't typical, and it's severe. In fact, at the end of the consultation, he goes, "so it looks like you have a unique form of social anxiety." And that comes from a guy who's in a hospital, so you know he's seen his case of wackos. Anyway, he's concerned that my treatments cause paranoia and vivid nightmares so often.
Personally, I'm 19, so I think I have a form of paranoia, perhaps schitzo, lying underneath things. And the drugs, they just pick these things up. If I go schitzo, I'll be so pissed at my doctor not picking up on it for all this time.
