I had kind of a similar thing. I am on a lot of meds for bp 1 & anxiety (klonopin) but have never had my dosage increased in 17 yrs. I only take it at night to help me sleep except in severe panic attacks. So I see a psych nurse practitioner for that.

I also take Concerta for ADHD & have been on the same dosage for 10 yrs. since I was diagnosed.

So I am not a "drug seeking" person. I've been a patient of this internal medicine doc for 17 yrs. & have never asked for a pain killer! But I did have severe back pain due to an issue confirmed by an MRI & my IM doc prescribed a painkiller (vicodin) & I called & asked if I could have a prescription refill as I was going on vacatiion & hoping to participate with my family in some activities & basically walking, standing, lying down--big time sleep deprivation, bendng over--anything other than SITTING was causing pain despite the medication so I was asking the voicemail nurse about dosage--if I could take 1 1/2 pills instead of just 1 & the nurse somehow communicated to the doc that I wanted a STRONGER painkiller (like I don't know what--morpheine??) & so I got a really gruff message that no, the doc was NOT GOING TO GIVE ME A STRONGER PAIN KILLER & IF BENDING OVER CAUSED PAIN THE DOC RECOMMEDED NOT BENDING OVER!!

So I figured if you go to medical school to give that type of advice forget it. I'm getting a new doc. Plus for her to treat me so gruffly after supposedly knowing me for so long...

I just felt hurt I guess.--Suzy
