carmex Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 My county pdoc won't prescribe me any benzo's because its addictive. He'd rather have me take extra Zyprexa PRN on top of the 20 mg i already take. It sucks because I think I need it, and I have no substance abuse issues at all.

This could be either a result of "county policy" or it could be even a case of previous abuse of prescription priviledges.....governed the AMA or other oversite body. Of course she/he is not going to tell you that's the case. Regards, Deepster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
