I hate this drug. I hate the way it was prescribed to me. I hate how my original doctor did not warn me about it and told me to take it every day. I hate that I can't live without it even though I take a small dose of .75 mg a day. I hate they don't allow you to refill early, you get paranoid about running out and being forced into cold turkey. I hate the way I feel when I miss one dose.
Today my worst fear came true. I went to get my script refilled and they are out. They say due to a manufacturing problem there is a shortage, nobody has it and they don't know when it will be in. I have no idea what to do. I use the very minimal to get me through every day. I don't know how I am going to get through this. I am due to take my next pill in 10 minutes and am already gritting my teeth because I don't have any.
I know you can't help me, but I just wanted to vent someplace. Wish me luck. Get your poison filled as soon as possible to hopefully avoid this.
Sorry Marvin, i hope you manage to get your medication sorted out but in the meantime, if you work I'd take some sick leave if you can to help you through. If you don't, I'd suggest to try plenty of water to flush toxins, stay in a safe space and try to remember the feelings you'll get won't be pleasant but they're not dangerous. Cut out any caffeine and refined sugar whilst you're absent your meds and speak to your doctor about them as soon as you're able.
Good luck! You'll get through it. X
Thank you, I did all that already years ago trying to get rid of anxiety. Calling around this morning after places opened I am told the same thing. Apparently, there is a national shortage or some type of supply chain problem, manufacture change. Everybody is trying to find a new source for it. Anyways I did find a store that still has some in stock. Now to convince somebody to go get it for me because I am a mess.
Hope you manage to find someone to get hold of it for you. xxx
Maybe this is a cue. A cue to talk to your doctor about being addicted to this now. I was on benzos too, but quit before it got serious. It is hell and you shouldn't keep taking it. The longer you do the worse it gets.
