So, I told my pdoc today that I didn't expect him to put me on Vicodin - but that when I have been on it in the past it helps me tremenously. I told him the main thing was that it wiped out any apathy.
His response: he was quiet for a moment and said that that's a possible treatment down the line and that opiates along with dopamine antagonists and hormone therapy are being studied but no really strong conclusive results have been published as of yet.
At least he didn't treat me like a drug addict. He's always encouraged me to research meds, etc and has always listened to info I dig up on the internet. So,I trust him and have much respect for him because he gives me the same.
I guess for now I'll have to live with increasing my other meds and adding fish oils.
Just thought some of you may like to know......
As for the fish oil: Cross your fingers......
