I go to Dr. what happens pain meds to help the pain WRONG!!! Bad move...Now trying to get off the pain meds and live with nothing and have no living skills. My life, very interesting book, that I would not want to live all though I have with very little training. Oh Well, guess I have to play the hand I was dealt.
gma45, did you advise your doc you had a prob with drug abuse and alcohol before he presribed the pain med? if so, find another doc, imho. i've found i have to be the "chemist" and research anything i am prescribed in that area of drugs. use the the web/easiest way. in my case i refuse to take narcotics of any kind to avoid disaster even 22 years sober. it's up to me to protect my sobriety at all costs.
the right doc can wean you off any of those types of drugs. but it's your choice to to speak up. i hope you do.
