You know what I posted this a long time ago and now it just took off. I have a new mental health provider and so far cut 20mg aderall, 1mg zanax and tapered totally off paxil. I'm not into the dependent, addicted thing. I will say this I have never ran short and take them as prescribed by mouth. I drove medicaid transit and got up at 3:30 am to take people to methadone clinics the reason they were on SSI is because of the word dependent not addict.If you became dependent on vicoden from a doctor and then started using smack your covered. I seen a lot of people get a dirty and kicked out so I took them to a different one up to 60 miles away is the limit under medicaid only after they got kicked out of all of them they would go see Dr. Suboxone it has narcan in it if they use smack they will get very sick. So I don't agree with if you abuse your meds theory because these people abused them and then some but were still dependent you have to use it now it's more nice than addicted. We can agree to disagree and still be supportive of each other I like you.
