When I was active in my addictions my mom dished out my klonopin.
Then I took shrooms and I needed it right then, but my mom had it. That has nothing to do with your situation but for me I stilll have regrets about not being able to take a pill to get me to sleep through that hell.
Anyways moving on, I don’t think this is drug seeking behavior.
When I realized klonopin was the best thing for my anxiety in addition to my other meds. My pdoc gave me 30 mg and it had to last me four weeks. Even me the addict I am said “I can’t abuse this because I need it. I can’t go a day without it. My anxiety is so bad. So the only way to make it last is take it as prescribed.” And if you’re giving your mom it it’s worth a try.
I take .25 daily and I’m allowed up to an additional .75 in prn. I never abuse it any more it’s helpful. You shouldn’t be stuck on suffering mode.
Although if you start doing anything addict-like behavior then you should tell your mom and doc right away.
Not everyone’s as fortunate enough an addict as me for klonopin to have a very low potential for abuse, to go along with great medical properties.
Good luck you’re a good guy. I hope for the best for you
She shot me down real quick, said she doesn’t want me to get it in my head that taking a pill can fix my problems…isnt that why she put me on a third antipsychotic?
I’m having a hard time rationalizing her argument. But whatever, just have to suffer anxiety I guess
The county mental health I go to doesn’t allow any habit forming drugs to be prescribed. They do allow Buspar and propranolol for anxiety and neither is addictive
have you tried vistaril? I used Ativan for years, so long that I got up to 3mg and it just wasn’t working anymore. I stopped and when I was hospitalized last time they had me try vistaril before Ativan just to see if it would work and I was surprised to find that it actually takes the edge off. To me it’s a cleaner feeling medicine, no groggy feeling. I think it’s underrated. Maybe ask about that and see what she says.
