"I was under the impression that almost all psychiatrists were not only reluctant, but dead-set opposed."

Pyschiatry is a secular religion, complete with heresies. But there _are_ heretics, I'm sure; I hope to find one.

"Now I have exactly three things with which to try in vain to persuade mine otherwise: (1) my experience, (2) your experience, and (3) this 1995 study by Dr. Bodkin."

It's probably a waste of your time to try to persuade your doctor; it'd be like trying to get the Pope to reject transubstantiation. Evidence will not convince those who are opiophobic; opiophobia, like all phobias, is irrational and not subject to argument.
