I could understand... if this was happening every other month... I mean...then of course there would be a problem...but since you have never had your pills disappear before... and you have a police report... I think the doctor is playing a power trip... I am angry at how he is treating you. I could even understand if he would only fill ... one weeks worth of pills at a time, or a few days worth... to be repeated every few days... until time for the next refill... but to deny all meds... gesh... would they do that to a heart patient for heart meds? How about a diabetic? This is insane. I can understand not making it " easy " ... but... gad! K Adrienne's Mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure am sorry about this. I hide almost all of my pills, ALWAYS. Someone could burglarize your house. Other things can be replaced, but not narcotics....and if you are in pain, you must protect yourself. I wish we lived in a different world.... I feel very badly for you. What a rotten thing to do!

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 I once had my car broken into and all my meds were in there, I had no problem replacing everything through my pharmacy as long as I had the police report number. And if that doesn't work why can't they give you something close to oxycontin, I would not except the option of having to go thru ditox, because your not responsible for the loss of your pills! Fight this one tooth and nail, what they want you to do is inhumane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 Hi Ray, I am SO sorry to hear what happened and what's going to be happening to you physically (and, of course, emotionally). Even tho you have signed the agreement about the meds, it would seem to me that the doc would fill more out for you with the police report, etc. The police should be able to send a copy of it to the DEA, so your doc won't get in trouble, etc. It might be something to look into instead of what you are about to go thru. It's just a thought.... Am really sorry to hear all of this. I hope that something other than withdrawl, etc. can be done, just for the sake of your sanity. Take care and keep us updated. Good luck.... Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We > love ya! & Hugs! > What I do with my pain drugs is to put a few pills away for an emergency every week. If you are fairly dependent upon these drugs, I think it is very important to gradually build up an emergency supply. Another thing I do is to try and take smaller doses or none at all on my " good days " . Just because the drug is " there " doesn't mean you have to take it. I have found the less you take the drugs, the better they work. It is very easy to get in a situation where you have to double or triple the doses to get the same affect. Do not take the drugs for granted. You are at your doctor's mercy to get more. I would rather suffer some than lose the effectiveness of these drugs. Over the past few years, it has been harder to get oxycontin because it is so widely abused. Don't be surprised if your doctor switches you to something " softer " . Pris Bored , chubby pig?

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2003 Report Share Posted May 31, 2003 Peggy, I'm not sure where the idea came from that methadone's like taking candy, but methadone has been the best medication I've been on for pain control. It works so well for me that I have been able to cut it in half in a very short time. I'm just tossing this out for those who have asked about taking methadone for their pain. It's good for some of us-VERY good. and also it's inexpensive. My oxy habit was over $500 a month and the methadone is $12.68 every month. It can't be prescribed in every state, but for those of you who can have it prescribed and want to try it, I'd say go for it. It leaves me with so much clearer thought processes. in MI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too complain of my own pain, it's between 5-7 with the ability to go higher during major flares but Methadone is used a lot in the fight of chronic pain! Always remember what works for one might not help another. But it could help Ray? Peace, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
