Well, I did it... I made it through the doc appt with the nurse.. I was scared to death.. but she said I seemed better than last time. I actually talked to her this time. Although, I think she felt bad cause when I told her the Focalin was helping me....she hugged me and it surprised me so I didnt have time to hug back and she was all "Im so sorry! I invaded your space" and she kept talking about it lol.. I really didnt care, shes really nice and I like her! So... it just surprised me when she all of a sudden came at me with a hug! lol

We talked about how I am doing in school. And then......

I gave her a copy of my post about the other night.

She read over it carefully.. and asked some questions. She said she was going to talk to my pdoc about it and call me back... I dont know what they are going to do... but I did it so...

Im just glad its out there ya know.. I just hope he doesnt over-do-it.... It doesnt seem like a big deal to me and so I dont want them freaking out on me about it and everything....

But, perhaps he will want to see me about it... and I go back to her in a month so thats good. And I have therapy next next week and that will bring it all up again... because if my pdoc documents it on my record, my therapist will ask me what it is all about..... and shes not very understanding... she tends to either find humor in things or think its no big deal. If I explained it to her, she will just think Im crazy. I can tell that about her....

Well.... Im waiting for the phone call and I will let you guys know what happens. Thanks for the support, I have really needed it, take care

Hi Christi,

As always, I am so proud of you. You got their attention and now you will get some relief. Hang in there until you see the pdoc.

Keep up the good work. You are a wonderful person.

Hugs, Karen

Yea guys... the nurse called me yesterday and talked to me about everything... my pdoc wants to start me on clonazepam as needed, whenever I feel an episode coming on. I will pick it up Monday, but I have no idea when I will first try it out... I am kind of worried how it will affect me.. so....

If any takes it, or has taken it... I would very much appreciate your story about it.

Thanks, take care, and Happy Halloween!
