The world of getting proper medicating while dealing with ADD and Chronic Pain,has near driven some of us off the deep end.I.ve fought the tolerance issue two-fold(Opiates and Stimulants)for several years and I,m seriously thinking of throwing in the towel on both of them,just to see what happens.Tolerance IS a big issue,I don,t care who says that folks with true CP don,t get tolerance to Opiates,or true ADD folks don,t get it with Stims.HOGWASH!!After years of Morphine and Ritalin,Oxycontin and Provigil,Methadone and Adderrall,AAAHHHGGGG!!!Anyway,I,ve just settled into a regular schedule of Methadone,Dexedrine,Prozac,and Xanax,opting to go with a 3 week on,1 week off schedule with the Dex,simply to ward off tolerance to it.I am glad there are Dr.,s out there,although not many,who see the relief of patient symptomatic discomfort and dysfunction first,instead of fear of the DEA.Help as they do,I would trade almost anything to be able to not have to take ANY pills at all.Does anybody else get just plain ,old sick-and-tired of enduring the effects of meds,day in and day out?Sorry if I,m whining,don,t mean to,just wondering how others deal with this feeling.Festus
