I came across this site the other while looking searching for an old acquaintances nickname. I had a quick look-see around the site but having a short attention span for forums I decided not to join when I first came across it. After being told my oh-so-great doctor hadn't extended my script until I could afford to get out there after wasting my last five dollars going out to see him on Monday after the appointment on Friday was changed, I show up on Monday (after phoning first to make sure he'd be in as I've learned my lesson before) and I was told that he was "stuck at the airport". grrrr
Anyhoos, I'm starting to ramble, and I'm peeved, so my apologies.
I've been seeing this doctor out in Brunswick/Moreland for nearly ten years now, his hours are atrocious mon-wed-fri between 2-4.30pm on the days he works, anyone in the area will know who I'm talking about. He was great when I needed him to get off smack, but now I've been "clean" in that sense for almost eight years now and have a new set of problems to go with the bup that I'm on to cope with a over the counter codeine addiction because of bad teeth (any long term smack users will know the story here, and the pain ). I think he's on the verge of retiring since his hours are so cruddy, then they've always been rather bad, however I'm no longer living in Brunswick so what was once a five-ten minute walk down the street is now an hour hike by train and bus, often getting stuck with the kids getting home from school.
Basically I'm asking if anyone in the area between Broady and New Market/Kensington know of any 'good' bup/meth doctors that I can change to that are taking patients, preferably not to far from the train station. My chemist gave me the names of two fairly local doctors which I called yesterday but neither are taking on new patients. I did a search after I joined, but only came up with the drug referral places for getting off drugs most of which I went through when I was younger. After remembering that I came across this site I thought it cannot hurt to ask. Someone might know a doctor in the area I'm in, or know of a more localized drug site I site I can sticky beak as it seems the site isn't just for Oz as I initially thught that it was.
I'm not after a doctor to scam pills from, I'm just after a "good" local bup/meth doctor that I can start seeing (long term) that is easier to get to, works somewhat normal hours, is taking on new patients and doesn't treat drug users like the scum of the earth like so many others that I've came across in my younger years. Although at this stage, bup is the least of my problems regarding my sad state of health, but a new doctor can probably do more than an old doctor that is "only going through the motions" whenever I see him (if he hasn't canceled appointments to take holidays or is stuck at airports when I finally drag my butt out there).
I haven't mentioned any names, still not sure about what you can and can't say here. Doctors aren't the same as drug dealers, well not "quite" the same, so better safe than sorry. ~laughs~ If anyone knows someone, feel free to pm if we can't give names/addresses.
Actually, while I'm here, anyone know anything about some new rule the chemist have saying we are only allowed three take aways at any one time. Is it a national thing, or just here in victoria? I'm only asking as I was getting five take aways a week, I'm still getting the five, but need to pick them up in three and two day doses instead of all five. Is it only suboxone tabs, or does it apply to those strip things I've heard about and methadone too? And does anyone know why they've started this, although I've a fairly good idea, people selling them and those of us doing the right thing get stuffed up because of them.
Well, that's everything thing I think, I hope I've posted this in the right place and not broken any rules. Sorry for the length, I tend to ramble once I get going.
Thank you in advance for your time.
