101 degrees and AC out

My day just went from bad to worse. Not only am I sleep deprived and getting overheated at work, I’m now living in pure hell. The air conditioner went out today and it’s 90 degrees inside our house. I already missed last night because I’m exhausted from the heat at work. I feel like I am going to die from being so constantly hot and tired. And on top of this my boss just silenced her messages after I told her what was happening and why I may not be in tonight.

Really upset that I have no ability to get cool or sleep. I guess I can sleep in the car. This sucks.

Help, my Dr took me off Klonopin after 20 years and I just had a 5 hour long panic attack at my retail job.

My primary physician has decided to discontinue my Klonopin prescription after being prescribed it for anxiety and panic disorder for over half my life. The reason was she was getting pressure from her boss to take all of her patients off of psychiatric medications because apparently I’m supposed to have a psychiatrist to prescribe me this medication. I’m currently on a 12 month wait list to see a psychiatrist. She said she didn’t want to but had to. I couldn’t say anything other than Oh My God WHAT.

So I’m a few days into withdrawals. I had a 5 hour long shift at work today and I could barely get a thing done because I spent the majority of my time there sweating, overheating, feeling dizzy, shaky, and terrified.

I haven’t had a panic attack in a long time. I can’t afford to miss work. I don’t know what I’m going to do. I have to go back to work tonight for truck which will be stressful and hot, which seemed to be today’s catalyst for the endless panic.

I have a few pills squirreled away for the apocalypse. I may have to take part of one tonight, just so I can make it through my 8 hour overnight shift.

Anyone else just yanked abruptly off their medication without any alternative solution to the impending doom that has indeed found me?
