Sentience...your statements earlier indicate you are drug seeking.
It depends on what you mean by "drug seeking". I am seeking drugs because I am in pain. Severe pain. I crave relief from that pain more than any buzz or fatigue that the drugs give me. In fact, I dont really enjoy the effects of MSContin and stopped enjoying the effects of OxyCodone.
your doc is very willing to write scripts and your foremost concern when answering 'What about the harm of me being in pain?' is an opiate drug habit (pod tea or heroin).
What? That was not entirely coherent.
"Is an opiate drug habit" is not a proper sentence, and it sounds like a question rather than an answer, but Im not sure.
Are you talking about where I mentioned that I would probably self medicate, because I am in extreme pain, if I didnt have access to medication? Is that a sign of addiction, or is that a sign that I am in pain and cannot cope with the pain unmedicated?
I dont think you understand what its like to be in pain. Its not the same thing as addiction. I would be frantic to get drugs if I didnt have them, but not in order to chase a high. I would do it because the pain is so severe.
i don't sleep well so i abuse my Adderall to just get through a day.
I always too my medication as directed for its intended purpose.
Because my doctor is concerned about being taken advantage of by addicts
That should be irrelevant. A doctor should first and foremost work to treat the sick and help people in pain. If a few addicts want to scam a doctor for drugs, that sucks for the people scamming, but it doesnt break the doctors leg or rob him. As long as the doctor sees evidence of legitimate pain, he should treat it. If others cant handle themselves, its not his fault. At least he can sleep knowing he did his part and didnt leave somebody in pain.
Doctors are not creating addicts. Addicts were already addicts. Most addicts are introduced to drugs when they are not in pain.
Also, even for those who are addicted, its better to get prescription grade drugs from a pharmacy at insurance prices than dirty and cut street drugs for cash and your mothers furniture. You might actually be doing addicts a favor by providing them an alternative to the black market, and at least monitoring them.
More than anything however, it upsets me that people who are really in pain are not being helped because of an anti-drug craze.
