What is the best way to tell your doc.

[terter]

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

I would recommend you get a counselor, particularly one who specializes in substance abuse, to see at least once a week. Talking one on one with someone who is familiar with addictive thinking, emotional issues around addiction and who can be really there for you, etc. can be very helpful. Do you have insurance that would cover that? Make sure you get a good one and one that you feel sympatico with. There can be mismatches in counseling, which don't help anyone.
Good Luck!

You can email me at ***@****.  I don't want to take up space on here with something I can help you with on the side.

you have done the right thing. and i want to tell you how i admire you for doing the right thing. you and your baby will be fine as long as you don't go into labor tomorrow and as long as you stay off of them!!

the stress of worrying about it is worse for you and the baby than the lorcet you were taking and have now quit! really!!

how are you feeling now? are you in any w/d's? even if you are feeling a little bit under the weather right now it should not last too long. just do not go back on them! you can email me if you want to: ***@****

and as far as NA goes, my GAWD... where was this meeting that you had to bring a note to??? and no, you won't get an answer back from anyone about what happened. i believe what happened with that dude had more to do with him and NOTHING to do with NA as a whole.

"the only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using" PERIOD!!!! and you will meet some egotistical shits in the program that do seem to measure who is the worst addict etc... but there are egotistical peeps everywhere!

ya'll know i am not into NA very much these days. but i did get 8 years clean in NA and i hate to see it maligned... so please, believe me, as annoying as some of the folks in NA can be it is not the fellowship of NA that is at fault!

peace,

amber

Sorry to butt in on this thread but I really need some help right now.  I came to this site last September looking for help getting off of oxycontin.  I'm glad to inform you all that I successfully quit and haven't touched the **** since then....but I soon picked up another habit-Lorcets.  Before I knew it I was up to 4 a day when I found out I was pregnant.  I was 3 months when I found out and since then I tapered down to 3 for a little while, then to 2, then to 1, then to 1/2 and now I'm down to nothing.  I took my last 1/2 last Friday.  I'm 28 weeks pregnant now.  I know I should've told my dr. but I was so scared that my baby would be taken away from me when I delivered.  I've heard so many horror stories of babies being taken away from mothers and I just did not want that to happen to me.  I was wondering if my baby will still go through withdrawals when he is born?  I'm so scared of the damage I've done to my little man.  Does anyone know what effects this could have on him?  Any light shed on this matter will be greatly appreciated.  I'm just so scared.
