Keigh,
Seasaw's post is right on. Benzos are incredibly powerful and can be harder to come off of, in some cases harder than the hard drugs like heroin.
Definitely talk to the doctor, and if possible, please document the dates and descriptions of:
- when your Mom started the medication, how much she usually takes, whether she takes it as prescribed
- her behaviors on and off the medication,
- your conversation with her doctor regarding these symptoms and whatever else you discuss.
You might need this information later if you have to take further steps to keep your Mom away from getting the klonopin. Or any other benzo. I don't know how her doctor is, but don't assume that doctors always act in the patients' interest.
As Seasaw mentioned, you don't have to go pick up the meds for your Mom. You don't have to do what you don't want to do. She might make it hell if you refuse to do the things she wants you to do, but if you do them you'll go through even worse hell.
I'm glad you're here with us and sharing your experience. Good luck.
