Severe Anxiety Disorder/Agoraphobia. Advised Clonazepam. Help?

Severe Anxiety disorder / Agoraphobia, P.T.S.D I`m prescribed 2mg clonazepam twice daily along with 500mg of Gabbapenten three times daily. I recently moved and I have to find a new psychiatrist, I still have my medication and the empty bottles and my prescription history is in the computer at the local pharmacy. I no longer have insurance so I would have to pay with cash or credit card. Can you help me find a psychiatrist?

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about the battle with these conditions and the recent move that has caused you to be separated from your psychiatrist.

From the information you have provided, it is very difficult to suggest a new psychiatrist for you because you location is not specified. however, I will suggest that you get consulted at the local hospital and from there you would be suggested psychiatrists in the neighborhood who can help you.

I also understand that you no longer have insurance cover at this time. Please, make it expressly clear to your physician about this and ask if there are any cheaper generics that could make the burden lighter for you to ensure that you are able to pay and get your medications all the times. Without insurance, these drugs become very very expensive. please try securing one if possible at this time.

I hope you find this helpful. Feel free to ask for more answers in need be. I wish you well and thank you so much for using our services.
