> Crikey. You are on a number of drugs, and to be a massage therapist (for heavens sake), they want to take the only one that works (the least toxic one) off you. That's just what I'd expect. Thankyou, Liliths, you've woken me up.

Yes, irresponsible recommendation. You can relay your experiences with drugs but to tell someone to ditch what their doctor has or hasn't done is inappropriate.

There are reasons why opiates are not used in current psychiatry and addiction is only one of them -- receiving a license from the state to do a certain job means unfortunately you have to fit their requirements if you want to do that. What if someone zoned out on a patient and did the wrong thing?

I can sympathize but its the same thing if you were asked to drive a bus or something. Some professions unfortunately require alertness and attention to detail. Now if there is a way to petition regarding this and bring a doctors' say so to the board, that is always an option, but it is of course a catch 22 about a doctor-patient confidence.
