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

Is is Darvocet or Darvocet-N that you have?  Also, see my post at the end of the last thread -- you may want to look into that, if you react to tramadol the way I do.

I am sorry about the way I posted that comment about other borads. It wasnt meant to defend this one. I belong to 3 other boards and I was really trying to make the comment about all the fighting that goes on on all these boards. Sorry I didnt 'splain myself right! And about the AA/NA thing. I talked to a guy from the local Bham NA and he told me that to be in the program you would have to have a note from your doctor explaining in detail why I am stillon pain killers. This is why I dont like NA/AA. Now I know it isnt this way everywhere, but I thougt what right does this guy have asking for my private medical records. Sometimes I think these groups need to look at themselves first. But I am sure they do help people. I just got a bad tast in my mouth from this so called Caring man the runs the local NA group. He said before I could be apart of his group I needed to bring him note from my Pain Doc. I told him off and I also filed a complaint with the regional chapter OF NA here in Alabama and so far havent received an answer which I am sure I wont. Being a druggie you know! LOL

Try to find a pain specialist, they seem familiar with all "this", not like a regular doc.  I told my doc the truth, I wasn't taking the oxycontin for pain, I was taking it because if I don't, I'll go into withdrawals.  He's the one who got me in this mess.  He wanted to take this slow, I just got off the duragesic patch, and I'll stay on sustained release oxycontins for a while, then try to taper down to vidcodins I guess.  I just gotta get off the heavy duty pain pills, I'm not in that much pain anymore.
  good luck finding a doc, hope he doesn't give you more problems!

Thank you. I have an appointment tomarrow with a doc who perscribes buprenex. How long do you think I should stay on it if I do take it? Thanks for the reply about the Darvocet(spelled correctly for Jesse)but please don't attack the rest of my spelling... Thanks TER

The other thread closed...but I wanted to thank you for your suggestions and words of encouragement.  I'm much calmer now.  Strange how just the mere THOUGHT of not being able to get more pills can make a person go Nuckin' Futs!  

I have a few weeks now of tapering...which makes me feel a lot better!

Love to all...and TONS of thanks!

Talk to you all soon...I'm sure!

I thought Kurt's line about being "a wordy junkie" was funny.  This two shall pass.  Pamela
