Perhaps it's time to start looking for another pdoc? Don't fire this one until you find another, though. My first pdoc made me feel awful about myself and firing him was the best thing I did.
FWIW, your recent troubles sound exactly like my recent episode of agitated depression that lasted from 9/11 to 10/23. (Notice I can remember the dates without looking.) I was completely ineffective at work, had cutting episodes just to stay marginally functional at home, and spent hours rocking on the floor of my closet (actually I recommend that - very womblike and calming). I upped the Klonopin a bit during that period, just to survive. My pdoc was very supportive of this. And you can tell your pdoc that since I have never even seen an illegal drug and have never been drunk even once in my life, seeking relief when in intolerable pain does not make you a drug seeking addict or criminal. It's a shame that being open with your doctor exposes you to so much abuse. I know you, in general, like this doctor, but really...
I'm sorry, but insensitive pdocs really annoy me.
