Thank you everyone who reached out/commented with support, care, advice, etc from my last post. I really, really appreciate it! Here's a quick update.
My GP was able to send in the prescriptions. Huge relief. Unfortunately, because the last Rx for Clonozepam was for twice a day (it was in between that my Psych told me to increase to 3x a day), I'm not "supposed" to be out of it yet, so my pharmacy can't fill it (understandable, but ugh). Also, there seems to have been a miscommunication, as the Buspar Rx is the right dosage, but the wrong amount of pills per day (too few). I'll probably need to maybe make a telehealth appointment with my GP or something. I'll wait until I pick up the Clonozepam though to ensure that's accurate (it's the weekend now anyway, at least I have enough for now).
I DID get a call from my former psych yesterday evening. She gave me her new phone number if I want to follow her. She didn't ask about my meds, which kind of upset me (even if unjustifiably). The thing is, she's much further away now (and that's via a high traffic during rush hour route). Also, the practice is a addiction recovery center (and that's full blown in the name). Even if she's seeing former patients that are not for addictions there (she's also the owner apparently, according to the website), I feel nervous about being potentially seen or associated with that place (can you imagine parents at school putting it all over FB that Ms. so and so "must be addicted to drugs?"
). I also feel just a bit gun shy. I don't *think* (or have a reason to think), that there was anything problematic with her, but this whole closure is really fishy sounding to me, and it's put me in a position of feeling a bit leary of everything.
I did take the number though. I just don't know what I'm going to do yet. I think my GP would be willing to continuously prescribe mental health meds, but I hadn't yet figured out what "worked" fully which kind of makes me think I probably still need a psych to help me work that out. At least now I don't have to worry about suddenly stopping something due to running out. I'm keeping ahold of the old bottles too, just in case (no news on medical records). Unfortunately, like I mentioned, the clonozepam bottle still says just twice a day, but if that's all someone's willing to prescribe because of that then so be it.
I feel like I'm in some crazy made up story. I'm kind of glad that it made the news around here, because when I tell people (doc, pharmacist) I feel like I sound like a drug seeker.
Because of said anxiety, I'm still freaking out a little, but trying to remind myself it'll all work out eventually (for example, said Buspar is not a controlled substance so getting that adjusted shouldn't be too problematic).

The practice itself did not give any warning, contact any patients, or leave any info on how to get medical records, etc.
