Yes to all of that. There is a difference between addiction and dependancy. And no, there is no logic for the patient who is chronic pain... that is the reason it's called CHRONIC? It's all about doctor covering their collective assets.

With morphine and fentynyl out there yet for me, and I'm at such a low dose of demerol, it just doesn't make sense to me. Here I am sharing my demerol dust (the dust from my pill splitting) with my dog.. when he could be giving me HIS. (if I got him some. )
