I had an appointment with a new psych doctor yesterday for med management.   I'm not sure if this will work out.  They only let you be on 2 controlled substances at once. I'm on klonopin and Vyvanse.  She's going to ask her boss if he will make an exception for me.  I sure hope so.  I mentioned the ashton manual...they always act like they've never heard of it before. I hate that. I really don't want to go back to the guy I was seeing before.  Not good vibes. I made it clear with the new lady that I don't want to rapid withdrawal off klonopin.  I hope they will take me. Since I don't have ADHD they will most likely make me taper off Vyvanse first. I dread it.

In my humble opinion that seems silly rule if you need tranquilises, stimulants, and painkillers, what would they do then?

Also you do not need to be on an extra bed if you want to take it off the Clonopin, Clonopin is a long acting drug and it is successfully tapered from, by many people.
