Hi, OMIGOD!!! Sounds exactly like me-this is what I was hoping for. No way, did you offend me-you helped me A GREAT DEAL in this post. This is me in this post-(and nope I'm not delusional LOL)
From a "queen" to another "king"(of self-medicating) I wish I would have known you a long time ago-it would have saved me the many pains of agony of going to pdoc to pdoc not to mention trusting, and respecting their judgemnet!!
I am bowing to you for this LOL You helped a lot.
Peace to you too:-)
Thanks
Kristen
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> Hi Krissy,
> this may not really relate to your specific questions but I'll say it anyway.
>
> sounds like we are the king and queen of self medication!!(correct me if I'm wrong).
> I have gone against pdocs orders several times, taking extra doses, withdrawing from meds without giving them a sufficient chance, taking coctails to see what happens. Why do I do it? I've ended it up in ER because of this and I wasn't evan trying to end it all, it was more curiousity of what high doses could do? Infact I found it quite amusing at the time which is slightly worrying!!
> But is not at all funny. It is a form of self-harm, quite often due to a deep lack of care for yourself.
> I'm not sure if this applies to you, but pdocs often come across quite cold and not very understanding. I have left many a psychiatrists office thinking you T**T, I could be a better pdoc than him/her now, without any training.
>
> I found myself dismissing what docs said and self medicating, getting more and more confused. I've finally grasped the fact that you need to trust a pdoc fully and respect there judgment, because if you don't you could waste years like myself going to and from medications and seeing far too many pdocs.

> If I remember the first pdoc I saw 5.5 years ago, he was trying to prescribe me drugs which I declined, that I would love to give a trial now. Maybe he had the answers back then. I'm sorry I didn't stay with him.

> I may be jumping to conclusions from reading your posts about your medication use. hope this isn't offensive, correct me if I'm wrong.
> just trying to help,

> > Today, I felt very "on edge" so I took 100mg, and 2mg of Klonopin-something I never do, as it is not prescribed as PRN. It helped me to calm down a bit and fall asleep for like an hour and a half. I take all my meds at night, but was this stupid????
> > Tonight, I'm wondering what any of you think about what meds would be safe and work for me since I already took my "prescribed" 2mg Klonopin and 100mg Seroquel that I usually take at night.
> > Any experience?? All feedback, any feedback would be appreciated as always,
> > Thank you, Kristen
> > PS I put Ron too, because I value what he has to say on this stuff a lot.
