Yes, she was and likeT.C said, it was amazing that she *knew* so much.
It actually does kind of make me think of a guardian angel, because no one could have been better picked for me. If she'd told me to "go home and take a bath, or take some deep breaths"
I would have appreciated the attempt, but wanted to scream (again) :D


> I can't believe that your doctor did that to you. No matter what his beliefs are on whether controlled substances should be prescribed, it's only responsible to taper your dose and/or give you a medication that achieves the same result.

What he did has no sense to it. I don't believe he was being actively cruel. But, but..what he was trying to achieve is beyond me.

He ws the first Dr. to prescribe ativan to me.
He was the one who told me that when I wanted to go off of it, he gave me Clonazepam to do a taper otherwise it could be awful. That was 10 years ago.

And now of all times? He knows what's happened with Don is true, because Don is his patient. I referred Don to Dr. Lim because he'd always been a stellar Dr.

AS for even addiction you know, what if you are addicted? It's harder on the person than the Doctor, it's not like people do it as a way to annoy them. There's a lot worse things a person can be, or do, than inadvertantly get addicted to a prescribed med (or any drug)
(Like be a pompous G.P. or Pharmacist, who I'm sure goes home and has a stiff drink after a hard day)

And you know, we can't all take vacations, or go to health spa retreats to relieve stress.

But I know I'm preaching to the choir.
It's just so frustrating.


Goodness knows that lack of sleep alone can cause a lot of major mental health issues.
