What is the best way to tell your doc.
I would like to find a doc in my area, the ones I have seen G.P's seem like they don't want to touch addiction. The one I got most of my scripts from says oh well. I have gotten off a 20 a day habit of hydro for 3 years then relapsed and am tappering with darvocette is this a good choice?? My biggest problem is lack of energy and depression that lasts forever after I stop useing, is there a certain medication that I can ask for to help with this? Thanks TER
Kip I had real live physical reaction to that girl saying that she would sell those oxys. I was sweating, shaking, craving everything like a real withdrawal which I am oblivously not withdrawaling from ****. I guess I realized the power of the addiction like you said, I will never underestimate its hold.
Percs I am sorry that MIL had to suffer like that. Too bad she didn't speak up sooner. Goes to show she is still fragile. That really sucks and is totally stupid. Pammy

Just wanted to agree with you on the L-Tyrosine. A few weeks back I was suffering from severe depression from methadone wds and saw a dr. and he gave me paxil which I refused but I added The L-Tyrosine as well as the rest of the thomas recipe to my diet and feel tons better. Why would they recommend that your friend not take any vitamins? No sense at all. Doner
Just wanted to send my condolences on your addiction to methadone as I am addicted as well. Hurts like hell. Im tapering and feeling ok but taking the ingredients in the thomas recipe in addition to my taper has done me a world of good. Just something to think about. Best of luck,Doner
Today I go to a doc that prescribes Bup. He is not an addiction doc but a MD, I went on the site that was suggested here. I am nervous. I have to confess I have a refill of 180 loritabs that I can pick up on 6/27 and I haven't canceled it yet. I have a very important appointment on July 7th I already cancelled once and can't cancel again this appointment will make or break my work comp. case. I'm hoping if this doc gives me bup he'll keep me on it til then or is that to long? What should I tell this new doc. I don't know what to do. Thanks
Hey, i believe any group/person/thing that helps someone, is great. Of course there will always be aberations.
Seems however, some of that "weirdness" Methman/Bmac describe is more pervassive than we think. Recently, my MIL(whom detoxed up here in Canada from a poly-drug habit spanning two decades), had sunk into a real depressive funk.....and we couldn't understand why all of a sudden; especially after doing so well and being in her 5th or 6th month clean. She regularly attends AA meetings(even did the 100+ meetings in 90 days).
Well, after sitting her down, to find out what was going on, I was mortified to find out, that her group had instructed/advised her that no pill was good; specifically that she had been taking L-Tyrosine daily(which she swears by), so she discontinued using it. Her mental and physical energy gone almost instantaneously.
It took all of my persuassive powers to convince her that it is simply an amino acid, and that it is okay.
After resuming the supplement, she quickly pulled herself out of her funk, and hasn't looked back!! Next Tuesday it will be 8 months for her.
I'd be lying if i said i wasn't pissed, that something like that almost cost her, this new start in life.
I know this is a case of ignorance(on the groups part), but wouldn't it be wise to find out the specifics, before jamming the abstinence to everything, first.

No, your baby will not have withdrawals when he/she is born as long as you keep off of the Lorcet's.
