I went for my follow up appt. last week. I thanked the dr. for his patience. He apologized to me because the hospital didn't have something non-benzo related that they could've given me.

I tried to get a female gyn, but there is only one in our area and she was booked up for a few months and I had to get in quickly. The reason why I agreed to go see this gyn is because he is the same doctor who delivered my 19 month old grandson. I already knew a little bit about him.

The only thing they offered me was a benzodiazepine. I am a benzo addict and I told them that I could not accept a benzo because I didn't want to relive the withdrawal process AND because of my addiction, benzos generally only made my anxiety worse. (I had a previous dr. who prescribed high...

Thank you.

On Friday I had to go in for a minor female procedure. They needed to put my under general anesthia (sp?). I couldn't handle it. My anxiety kept me from being put under for 1 hour and 45 minutes. I can't take a benzo so they couldn't offer me that. The procedure was only 20-25 minutes long. I...

Oh Allie, I hope you didn't get an anxiety attack over that. I do believe that there is a place for end times teachings, but I think that some preachers want to make it worse than it is. It's almost like they are in a contest to see who has the most outrageous claims. The Bible is very clear...

I was on Klonopin. My anxiety kept getting worse. The attacks were getting more intense. I had two different doctors who just kept increasing my dose. It turns out that one of the side-effects of benzodiazepines is that they can increase anxiety. I read an article by the Mayo clinic (I think)...

I fear "gossips" - especially ones who manage to get on the prayer team. Thankfully our prayer team captain is good at spotting them and weeding them out.
