1230 - RN and MD spend time talking with patient. Patient expressed frustration with the detox process and with not liking how the phenobarb was making him feel. Initially, he stated he was done with the process and no longer wanted MD and RN's services. After processing his feelings and realizing how far he had come and that part of his wanting to give up was due to tension between him and his fiancé. Patient, Fiancé, RN and MD came up with a plan for Fiancé to take a few days for herself and patient was willing to continue treatment but was going to refuse Phenobarbital from this point forward. Patient took AM medications except Phenobarbital at 1020 RN and MD informed patient of the dangers of stopping medication abruptly and offered to shorten the taper but patient refused to take pheno all together. Patient requested Xanax for breakthrough anxiety while going oft pheno abruptly. MD agreed to prescribe Xanax 0.5 # 15 and patient could keep in his possession as long as RN could randomly count meds to see how many he had taken.
