Scott: I just looked up buprenorphine and thought to myself, what is this and why has my doctor never told me about it? Well maybe it's because he's just a PCP. If I could manage to get myself involved in the ACPA here, I would probably have known of this, and have found a doctor 'by now', a pain doctor, that would help me. It's going on 10yrs and I don't know why I'm satisfied w/ the healthcare I haven't found or gotten. I had breakthrough pain the other morn' and called to make appt w/ PCP as my scrip is about to end, but also asked for a call-in of Vicodin, since they wouldn't see me until next week, and I'm going to run out of oxycodone Sat. I was confused and pi*sed and curious when I picked up the 5/500 tabs last eve. I've always gotten the 10s, especially for breakthrough. PCP is 'playing w/ me' or made an error, but somehow don't think it's the latter. And, Vicodin 10, has never really been an 'effective breakthrough med' for oxycodone, but I've 'just taken what I could get w/o a lot of hassle', being it's just me and a primary care physican. I just wrote 'buprenorphine' on a little piece of paper, to add to the big stack of little pieces of paper, to continue this search. I mean, I'll ask my PCP what he knows about it.
sincerely, cf
