Hi Guys-
Here is one suggestion...even though I was having panic attacks, my doctor was reluctant to prescribe benzos because I tend to abuse them when I am depressed or manic. He gave me the prescription when I agreed to give the pills to my husband. I need three pills a day, and he leaves them on the counter for me in the morning.
I know, I know...I feel kind of like a first-grader. (At least he doesn't have to pin a note to my shirt for my teacher). But it is working.
My husband doesn't have to worry about my overdosing and I am getting the medication that I need. Maybe just as important, this new psychiatrist displayed trust in me when I promised to turn over the pills to my husband.
I like him for that.
