I will try to make this short. I have been on a low dose (.5mg) of Clonazepam (Klonopin) for ten years because I have REM sleep disturbances (sleepwalking, trying to escape, fighting, etc). It was originally prescribed by my neurologist but he left and the prescribing was taken over by my primary care person, a very good nurse practioner. Last year at my annual physical she noted in my record (I read later online) that I was potentially addicted to the drug (a schedule 4 drug). I objected and asked it be removed. She refused and said it was not her decision it was a Baylor Scott and White policy. Also, it was sent to my record at Blue Cross Blue Shield FEP. Recently, for my visit with the same doctor, I was presented with a "contract" from BSW that noted my potential addiction AND, contained a clause whereby I would have to submit to drug testing on 24 hours notice and that my home and property could be searched if BSW 'suspect' drug abuse may be occurring. I flat refused to sign the document and she agreed that it may be an overstep. If this kind of data is being collected, could it catch me the next time I sign a 4473 and say "no, I am not addicted nor never abused drugs"? I have stopped taking the Clonazepam because I don't want this hanging over me and I don't want to find another doctor because then I am opening up to charges of 'doc shopping'. I am, of course, back to running into walls and batting imaginary demons.
