Question

Hi.  Thanks for all of your help.  Went to the doctor today to do a preliminary for starting suboxone.  Doctor was a complete jerk, talked to me like I was somehow less than.  I regained my composure, and when it was all over, I told him that, due to the fact that I was there for me, and not for him, that I would forget his behavior as soon as I walked out of his office.  He replied, with a smile, "Fair Enough."  Have to be there at 9:00am tomorrow to start process.  Nervous.  Oh, forgot to mention that even though he deals with suboxone, he told me he wouldn't give suboxone to his dog.  Thanks again.  Nervous a bit.

I think liscamdave can help you in this area..I am not sure about the stuff.  Your doc sounds a little negative.  Maybe he doesn't believe in the stuff.  Maybe see another Doc.

All my best,

wow, interesting... I was thinkn bout going to my Dr. today or at least calling him and letting him know i am 10 days off pills now. See this is why i am scared, Dr. should be there for support, not to make you out to be the bad one.
This is terrible. You think he would have been glad for your honesty and glad that you had the courage to go to him. Sounds like a real jerk...

Ya i would look for a new Dr. someone you can confide in and someone who will understand you. 

Good luck to you
