[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My guess is you’re addicted to Klonopin and experiencing anxiety related to that/withdrawal/rebound anxiety. You can’t just quit it cold turkey, you need to taper down and possibly be given an anticonvulsant to prevent a seizure.

This post screams of mental health crisis, not medical crisis. [/quote]

Klonopin withdrawal is hard but it's not going to produce health OCD like this specifically.

OP, do see your mental health provider.[/quote]

I'm not OP, but someone keeps posting on here whenever people bring up intermenstrual bleeding and spotting that women have health anxiety. Sure, some folks are anxious and could benefit from therapy and this probably includes OP. But it's not crazy to be worried about intermenstrual bleeding. I can tell you that I was NOT worried about my intermenstrual bleeding until I mentioned it to my gyn and she was like this is NOT normal and made me get a ton of tests including an operation. It wasn't cancer, but she made me go through a lot before being willing to say that. So, insisting that perimenopausal women who are having bleeding are worry about it irritationally isn't fair or right.

For example, ACOG guidelines state that any woman 45 or older who is having intermenstrual bleeding for more than six months should get an endometrial biopsy. Is that necessary? Probably not. Personally, I think my gyn was being super CYA and put me through a lot unnecessarily. But the medical establishment does not agree with your assertions that there is no need to worry about bleeding.[/quote]
