i am not sure where this belongs so i'll just drop it off on the island of misfit toys and you move it if necessary.
i'm on klonopin for anxiety and ambien for sleep. i've got a chronic pain issue the meds i've been given so far do nothing for. it's scoliosis related, my back is all kinds of fucked up. it makes me a sloth, and grouchy. i was discussing with someone the option of going on methadone treatment. they said this would be a way to get opiates and not have to worry about scrounging for them. i'm wondering if the people at the methadone treatment facility would deny me based on the meds i'm already on, and i'm wondering what the chances of them finding out (if it would be) and my psych finding out if i could manage to do it. my pysch prescribes the benzos based on my word i'm not taking any drugs, and i can't risk getting those cut off.
any advice?
i know the best thing to do would see a general doctor and go through the regimen of pills that won't work until the only option (if this would ever even be an option for me, as past heroin "addiction" is on my file there) is hydros or soma or something, but it's hard for me to get to the doctor unless absolutely necessary because of work and transportation.
horrible idea? feasible idea?
i realize benzos and opiates and danger and addiction and etc already. i'm pretty educated about that. if you have harm reduction tips that's appreciated but, you know. keep it to harm reduction if you can manage that.
