I don't know your story. My Brother is the same way. He takes extreemly high dosages of phy. meds. Dosages that should knock most folks off there feet. It's barley enough for him. He has had heavy drug use in the past. I think in some cases this has an impact on how effective legal drugs are. My Brother has a great P doc who know his history and provides rx's reguardless of what text books say is correct. At times when he has no insurance he chases lower dosages with alcohol or other street drugs. His P doc is extreemly opposed to this but advises him as to how much alcohol with how much Rx. Or pot and sleeping pills. I'm not saying do this. But there are others out there who do understand. Have you considered an herbalist if your P doc is not willing. They can have more knowledge in how street drugs are benificial. I am not saying YEAH DRUGS by any means. I just know how my brother is and what has helped him. I don't like him using drugs and he could be easily cought and in huge trouble, but you or the holder of the Rx you are using could also be in big trouble if you ever got caught. Best of luck to you. I hope you figure out what will work best for you in the most legal way possible.
