Background
A description of the experience
I'm a white 45 male; …... When I was 21 I had my second kidney transplant which was a BAD issue all together, at any rate the hospital did not include my medications [Klonopin] taken at home after my surgery.
I went thru the worst hallucinations and jerking and seizures you could ever possibly imagine. This went on for almost 3 1/2 weeks before we decided to have me taken OUT of the hospital and relocated before they ended up taking my life. Then the whole staff of paychology including the chief of psychiatry came in my room to see what they could do, Finally.
During one of my few moments of clarity the C.O.F after blaming me for taking "drugs" prior to my transplant listened to my word of telling him the meds I was on before being admitted.
After asking when was the last time I had received my Klonopin and me not knowing, he then reviewed the charts, and didn't see me receiving this med once. He stormed out of the room of about 9 docs and came back in with two Klonopin; for the first time in almost 4 weeks and after three surgeries
For the first time since I was hospitalized, I was sleeping like a baby, for about 49 hours with NO MORE hallucinations, or seizures or jerking! I finally got out of there without a kidney since that kidney went to another man named the same as I in a different city! I do take Xanax and probably always will.
The half life on Klonopin is much different hence one if its dangers, Never Ever stop this drug cold! I've been on dialysis 25 1/2 years now and suffered from intense skin cancers, but have fought and done all I can do to live a normal as possible life, working full time except when I'm in yet another surgery, over 32 general anesthetic procedures since 1987. I was the youngest boy-man to ever be on the USA soccer team ready to play in the Korea 1988 Olympics. What a change in life.....
All the Best,
Dr K. Peters
