> Umm, lets see. Oh did you ask her to up to 90mg? I'd do that if you haven't. She wouldn't augment with ANYTHING? Or not with your choices? I'm thinking she wants to see where you go with CBT before she adds anything that could theoretically interfere with CBT. I get that. I just don't think she understands your feeling of desperate anxiety that needs relief YESTERDAY. I get that on occasion, but I can let it pass in an hour or four! I can't imagine it on a regular basis. How often do you feel "desperate"? What EXACTLY was her response to you seeing another PDoc, or, and maybe more importantly, a regular GP? Would that mean you couldn't see HER anymore, or that SHE just won't prescibe anything else right now? I'm on 1mg Klonopin 3x day. Which benzo Exactly are you on? Would increase/change in benz OR Parnate do it? Let me know all!

> PS-Does anyone in your family have GP you could see? Do they (family member) agree you need additional help? Might help is all.Oh I just didn't understand it, maybe I'm just a little slow. I didn't ask her yet about upping to 90, I was gonna stay at 75 for a while, but I think that now I might call her to tell her I want it Upped.
She wasn't going to augment with anything. And I told her I would sign a waver, whatever it took, to get an augmentor, she said it wasn't how she did things, which, like I said, I respected her more for, but still needed the drugs, some drug, I feel terrible everyday. With severe SA, and depression, I haven't really went anywhere uless I had to, and since I qiut drinking in september almost 12 weeks, I only seen my real good friends a couple times, and talked to them on the phone.
I have alot of family support, but they are totally against drugs even prescribed, maybe because I was into hard drugs.
You are right about how she wants to see how the cbt goes, but I really don't think she is gonna add anything, she seen how desperate I needed relief, thats why part of me is saying what could be worst? going against a contradiction, that I had allot i mean allot of research showing safe studys of all the drugs i had for suggestion, even something she suggested,or having I bad it like lifes not worth living.
I mean depressed or anxious 24 hours a day but I still push myself though with music I guess my docs. playing guitar and talking with close family. One of whom has been through the same thing and went to school for six years of psychology(my cousin)but is really busy with work and her child who is very hypractive.
But I can't stop nardil, something just won't let me, I feel I have to go to like 4 months, it's been over 2 1/2, and it keeps getting harder not to stop it, to go on pretty much anything else to get a stimulant with. And it doesn't help when you have an alcohol problem, that I feel I'm beating on my own.
She said that seeing another pdoc. or getting drugs from a gp, would result in losing her.
I am also on clonazepam 1mg 3x a day, and yes an increase in that would help, but I can't get that either.
I don't think I want to switch to parnate if nardil doesn't work, unless there's was definate chance of augment. How do you find the parnate? how long have you been on it? were you on nardil? if so, hoew long, what doses?
Wow what a rant, sorry I'm just agitated now cause the last couple of days I didn' take my clonazepam, and trying to save, to get more for each day, or for something I would definately need a high dose for.
I feel completely horrible shakey, really just not with it, but the one thing I can say is I haven't touched any alcohol, which is getting harder each day. But I have to change my life around now, if I go back to my old ways, I will be on my own, no support, I would not survive!! Alcohol mainly, and drugs would take me over.
Once again sorry for the rant. I appretiate all your help so much. your awsome.
any advice on any of this would be awsome.
Thanks. talk to you again soon hopefully
