So what's the deal with Klonopin? After my experience with Paxil, I was more than a little shy about all drugs. So instead of taking the two or three Klonopin per day that my doctor prescribed, I only took one per day. My shrink told me I was a total idiot. Now that I'm taking two per day, I think I might be stabilizing.
But what are the side-effects? What can I expect?
The other thing I want to talk about is the strong need to be UNDERSTOOD by friends, family, etc. It's not their fault. How could they understand if they've never been through something like this? It's kind of like Nolan Ryan trying to understand why today's pitchers can't throw 300 innings without their arms falling off. He did it just fine. Why does everyone else have to be such a pussy? Or like George Brett trying to understand what the big deal about hitting is. See ball, hit ball, run like hell. What could be so difficult about that? Well, the people I know aren't famous or anything. But the only ones who get it are the ones who have been through something similar. I understand the dynamic. I just really wish someone close would truly be able to understand.
P.S. This doesn't mean I honestly don't appreciate people reaching out. More than they know. And I have freaked some of them out, lashed out at others. I am so sorry. Just frustrated.
