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

Im takeing  methadone from a pain specialist for pain. But I also think you call it abuse, cause I take more than prescribed and thats what gets me in trouble. I suffer from arthritis,fibromyalgia and nerve daamage.If I RUN OUT TOO SOON, THE W/D IS HORRIBLE AND I SWEAR ONE OF THESE TIMES IT WILL KILL ME,WITHOUT MEDICAL ATTENTION. BUT I CAN'T AFFORD MEDICAL ATTENTION. AND I TRULY AM IN A SCARED STATE OF UNCONTROL, WITH MYSELF.I don't know what to do. I hate the thought that this chemical is controlling my life. But it is. I don't know what is worse, the chronic pain or the deep dispair of withdrawl.Are there any government programs for pill addiction? Any advise would be appreciated. LOVE YOU ALL!!

Dear terter:
I meant  to add that an antidepressant may be very helpful for lack of energy and depresion that you describe.

Darvocette is chemically related to methadone and is an opioid.  That is why it helps.  Just like methadone, it is a spoil of WWII from Germany. Only when your tolerance is under a certain level does it help.  I did get relief from it many times when I was taking percs and vics.  But, when I was taking a gram a day of morphine, it didn't help at all.  Believe me, I tried many times during that period.
