Why dont the Drs tell us?

Why dont Dr,s tell you , warn you, put you on a schedule when prescribing opiates like Hydrocodone? I took them from Jan16- March 30. Had surgey on March 26 and shortly after my body started to reject the hydro.Now Im having the worst time of my life trying to recover from Cervical Spinal surgery and go through withdrawals and keep my **** together so my 3 yr old doesnt hink daddy is whack job! Im day 3 and feeling tired, nervous, blood pressure meds arent working well my sweating is less than desirable and stomach is cramping, im drpressed and trying to not cry and no matter what i do i cant get more that 4 hours of sleep!!!!!

Had i known prior to taking these drugs that this is what will happen i would have never taken them!!
Dr's need to take the drugs before prescribing what they do.
I was given 180 pills a month of Hydrocodone. Yes my pain was bad but was there an alternative? why is there no education before we undergo such trauma?

I hope this will be over soon, i feel like im missing out on my childrens lives cuz I feel like a junkie!
So much for medical Marijuana like i asked for " oh we dont belive in that" they said. ******** you dont get kickbacks for it !!

Thanks for spelling out the insurance/pharm/gov connection. I read the rhetoric in the laws and amendments, it's written in lawyerknees. I see the pattern and progression, the loopholes are the reality, thanks for sharing.

WOW Great info here!!!!
I heard one time that in a certain country if the Dr can not cure you or find what is going on and try to fix it then he/she is not a good Dr.
That is a big one here..The Drs sometimes just do not really know what is going on until it is too late. They just give you a pill for this & a pill for that.
Plus look at the Meds that they do come out with and advertise. If you take this med for just ONE thing it may have 10000 side effects..Now come on here..AND lets not forget about all the Law Suits now..Look at the TV and a lot of Attorneys ( got on the band wagon)and are suing the Med companies on this med or that med that might have killed some or damage someone in some way. $$$$ It all about money anymore on most parts here. Where is the HEART of it all. Find out whats wrong and do not charge a arm & a leg to do this. Just like my Dad, if they would of done a cat-scan (or anything other then..) many years ago they could of found the cancer, but they just gave him some breathing meds and never said any thing about his stomach pain. (He had cancer there too). I am not trying to Blame the Drs, but it's seem like they should try to Heal instead of Pill..lol
I guess it is our choice who we pick..We could go all natural and go to a Dr who deals in this.
Bless
