This is your first step the next is up to you. Before I give advice what is your back story. How long etc. ????? As far as the doctor goes it is up to you SOME understand others are JERKS. Like i felt like an Ass when i saw my doctor - she said and i am quoting her, "what do you expect me to do, you need help and i wont give you any drugs cause you sir have a problem." It really depends though - fight the good fight .....
kind regards

my dr. helped me. there are things they can give you to help you get through. don't wait too long, or it won't help much. my dr. is really proud as i am the only patien he has that has gotten off methadone. his help was invaluable to me.

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, this is the weekend and my Doctor is not available until Monday. I am pulling my hair out with these symptions. I don't know what to do...
as you can see you got two different opinions. i went to the dr that prescribed it for me. first of all he is my regular dr., and knows me well. secondly, i wanted him to learn how hard it is to get off and maybe be a little more careful about prescribing it for anyone else. i hope it worked. i really think he'll think at least twice before he reccomends it again.
