Any lawyers out there
Any lawyers out there? It should be a crime what some of these doctors are doing to people who come to them for help. Like a doctor who just cuts you off when you tell them you are dependent. They should at least be giving you enough to wean off like the drug company advices.
And who are these doctors that are perscribing suboxone for like a year! Like they don't know that is going to be a horrible addiction to quit. I am thinking the suboxone should maybe be done on an inpatient deal or daily going to the office or pharmacy to get it. It should be more controlled because it is so hard to come off of if you let yourself get addicted.
And methadone, well that just sounds plain old evil.
Isn't there some way to make these doctors responsible for some of the pain and suffering? Expenses in getting clean?

I think we can go round and round about this subject forever lol. I agree with alot of what everyone said and i believe that there are good and bad drs out there thats for sure. I think its a crime for them to just cut people off as the answer to the problem I have been there and its awful. I have also been blessed with the best drs i couldve ever asked for too that have helped me so much to battle this. I think when this medications are prescribed for the FIRST time the drs should explain all the risks to the patient and make them feel comfortable and safe if they develop a problem to be HONEST!!! Im pretty sure if I knew I had options and wasnt afraid to tell my drs the truth I wouldve been done with these pills along time ago. i think some drs want to keep their patients hooked on pain pills so they keep them coming back!!! the same also applies to methadone clinics im sure. We are all responsible for our own addiction thats for sure but most of us didnt get here on our own.
avisg, I was just putting it out there about Trams, as it is widely prescribed without the Dr telling you the problems. (I knew you knew better) The same goes for me.

good post sunny,
I like the part where you said "we are all responsible for our own addiction but most of us didn't get here on our own".
That is... a true statement, I think.
One thing I have learned over and over in life. We need to be armed with knowledge when we do anything, from our health related isses, to most anything else.
If we have information at hand, and we do, with the internet... we can make much better choices about what or what not to do.
That is the trick, to know the consequences of our actions, and then make informed decisions.

That is just like Ambien and Lunesta. Because the commercials say non-narcotic, many physicians prescribe it like crazy. I will be the first to stand up and say THEY ARE BOTH ADDICTING TO ME! These sweet little lullabye pills nearly ruined my life. If I would have kept taking them I have NO doubt that I would be dead or atleast in jail. Those things may not affect others but they definately kicked my butt. I didn't take too many of them, I just took them when I came home from work to escape the stress and go to sleep.
I agree only on the factor that these drugs after prolonged use change brain chemistry that can take a year to recover from ---if ever---things should be explained a little better, but it is such a catch 22 because when you are in pain and they turn their back on you, you might be saying the same thing......that its unfair for them not to treat you and that is cruel.......I dunno......catch 22. Doctors know all of this.....please. I feel for them, and I feel for the patients too. There are good doctors and bad doctors, like any and all professions........no real place to lay the blame. Although, it would be nice. I understand what you are saying, though.

yes it is a catch 22 i agree, but let me ask all of u a question that could probably be on its own post but - i think its fitting here -do any of u know anyone who has been on pain killers for a prolonged period of time who is NOT addicted and could just give it up in a snap??? I think most of use here got here because we all have pain problems that are going to last us forever
