0. Robotic and apathetic.
Which is kind of a -7, because I'm also scared and feel stupid.
Asked the psych for Xanax, because it didn't make me high or leave me strung out. It just, you know, stopped the panic.
Everybody said it would be OK to ask, she was really good, she'd listen.
She didn't. She flipped out because my 3-year-old took an nap in her office, basically called me a druggie looking for a buzz, and gave me Klonopin instead.
Which does make me high, for like a whole day, and then leaves me exhausted, lethargic, weak, and apathetic for like the next two days at .25 mg. What I want more than anything right now is to wash down another .25 mg with a cup of coffee, so I feel high again instead of like a zombie. Now what does THAT sound like?? Cause it sounds like the beginning of an abuse problem to me.
Six Xanax at .25 mg lasted me six months, though I prolly should have taken them about twice as often as I did.
Twelve Klonopin at .50 mg, cut in half, have lasted two weeks and I have 4 and a half pills left.
Which drug is going to get me in trouble, you dumb-ass self-righteous c**t??
Also I almost forgot my 3-year-old in the car the day after I took one the last time. That's only happened to me once before-- when I let my MIL talk me into taking one of her Ativan.
Xanax didn't do that. No high, no hangover. Just the ability to get back on top of the fear.
Can I PLEASE just have the damn drug I asked for????
No, Hell no, and if I go back in 2 weeks and ask for it, she'll probably turn me into CYS or something.
I don't ask for meds without knowing what I'm talking about, I don't need to sell them, and I don't WANT to get high. If I wanted to get high, believe me, I know where to get any goddamn thing I want OFF THE RECORD.
