Breen Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 In my "stopping Klonopin" thread I was advised to go back to the doctor who originally prescribed it, or have him recommend someone who would help me. I did. He kicked me out (see other thread) of his office ! Well, all he came up with was the local addiction service/center and primary care (GP and psychologists). Not satisfactory. The GP hasn't been able to help me, although he has the ability to refer me. The GP doesn't really know, either. What doctor would be somewhat of a specialist on "Klonopin" ? This isn't the USA, but an obscure country in Europe. I think that the average pdoc knows very little about this drug, except for therapeutic use in anxiety disorders. It is raraely used. Actually, it's called Rivotril in this country. I have found this drug to be very unlike any other benzo. In short, for the most part I don't have a clue about what is going on. And some strange things are going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurochs Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 We cannot recommend specific doctors on these boards, for a myriad of reasons (only one of which is we don't know where the hell you are).You probably want to find a pdoc who specializes in treating substance abuse patients.

Katygirl Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) Check out benzobuddies .org. Lots of good info on that site. Edited August 29, 2014 by Katygirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissaw72 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 The only thing I can think of is to try and find another pdoc. Even though they might not know much about it, some may know more than others about klonopin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
