PGirl:
Thanks for your replySorry to read about _your_ bad experience. My father used to say: "Doug, if you don't feel that you can trust your doctor, get a new one."
Another thing we tend to lose sight of; Many Dr.'s don't really care about your problems, they were just taught a nice 'bedside' manner in Med school. They're in it for the _____ (you get 3 guesses here)
Keep your chin up and cancel your check, that way you both can have a similar experience...

I have, of course, no interest in further screwing up my miserable little existence by getting addicted.When pdoc said the same thing i reminded him that my body is now somehow addicted to Zoloft, that i started with 50mg am now up to 300, when i have tried to go off of it (while i still have 2 neurons to rub togother), i got _real_ sick.
So the state is now paying for $400 worth of meds, i am actually worse off than when I first starting taking the 'so-called' AD's.

The only other thing I could suggest would be to fake pain in order to get the hydrocodone forthat (provided that hydrocodone is safe to take chronically). It's ridiculous that you should have to do that, but you have to look out for your best interests.> _____________________
Said i wouldn't steal, am not sure how convincing a liar i might be, plus i really respect my GP and would feel pretty bad about doing it.
Thanks again for your interest
