I am about to go down to our emericare unit (not the er) to be prescribed something for sleep.
That is what it's come to. After umpteen years of meds, three years with a doc who today says I have chronic ptsd and cannot prescribe and he told my gp not to prescribe because I had emsam a week ago, I have nothing. Nothing for
sleep.I am telling them, please don't make me do this. Yes, I need to get 'skills' but hey, please, you don't have to live my nights for me
I have bargained. I have given up benzos. I take now 15mg of norco.
Down from 20mg.I feel like this is so insane.
In two weeks he said he'd comfortable. Same with the gp.
Yes, I am totally panicking! Going to the urgent care is as proactive as I can be and not wait until night.
Both these doctors said this thing about do the least amount of harm when prescribing--and this includes ambien.
My doc is saying it's in the benzo family. Ambien. Who knows if ambien would even work.
I was really hoping for some help at least until I get to the anxiety clinic in July.
I can take day panic. I can do it. I told them. But I don't want to do night panic now. Not now. Not everything at once by myself.
Please wish me luck!
