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

Thanks, Wanna, for your answer to me about Buprenorphene on the thread before this one.
And...in spite of what people say about bad vibes and so onon this forum, I still think there is more help, love and goodness on this forum than there is otherwise. People just seem to have to wrangle where ever we are!
Peace and hang in, all you good people!

Are you abusing methadone, or are you taking it as prescribed?  OR, are you in a clinic?  If you are abusing it, then yes, it can kill you.  Some psychiatrists are trained in the arts.

We all have one thing in common(two) We take pills for pain and we are  hopeleessly addicted. Some are fighting this alone and some have all kinds of support.Most of us are ashamed of the whole thing. Especially the older we are.(not being to able to control such a simple little thing like a pill.!)And it is very hard for some of us to admit we have a problem, let alone ask for help.Some issues of getting help have to do with MONEY. And time.And ofcoarse finding the Dr. to help. Do any of you know if phsyciatrist are qualified with addiction??Ifyou do, let me know. I am badly addicted to methadone. It will certainly kill me someday. Love a prayers to all!!! babyboomer

YEEEEEEE HAWWWWWWWWWWWWW
I just got word that I can now apply to get my Registered Nurse License BACK!
All I have to do is go in-patient for a 5 day substance abuse eval and follow the reccomendations of the Doctor and pay a FINE.
Sounds like alot of hassle, but at least I am on the road to getting my life BACK!
