I have a question regarding anxiety meds that are - in my opinion - overprescribed by unqualified doctors (we’ll leave that for another time). I saw a new PCP this summer, mentioned that work was stressful, and they prescribed me Clonozepim “as needed”. I have never taken any of them - all 30 still in the bottle.
3 years ago I went to the ER after feeling dizzy and they gave me a Valium for “anxiety”. At the time I hadn’t thought anything of it.
Questions:
1. Is there a “good diagnosis” code for either of these? I don’t have the original medical records for either, but I will try to get them.
2. What is the definition of “recurrent”? Would the fact that there are two prescriptions for “anxiety”, even though one was never taken, be defined as recurrent?
3. Neither of these are SSRIs - is that good or bad?
4. Is there a way to “give back” the 30 pills from this summer? I really did not need them. Did some yoga, started interviewing for a new job and no stress post that. The stress was honestly mild to begin with. I am seriously regretting saying anything to my PCP!!!
Seriously I’m never going to the doctor again. Trigger happy over-prescribers…
