this thread is a joke to ADD. if i'm not mistaken its a dilaudid thread and not a jurnista thread, so i don't know why jurnista has even being brought up let alone hijacking the thread..... there'd be no arguments otherwise.
I want to ask my GP, and pain specialist about getting dilaudid either on top of my oxycodone, or just outright. i think i have the perfect reasons to ask for it, but my only concern is the strengths of HM relative to OC. I'm pretty sure my GP will be reasonable, but as for the pain specialist.... well next week will be only my second visit so i don't know how narrow her mind is.
I'm thinking of using the fact that oxycodone has now been highly stigmatized in Australia, and that GP's are being closely watched when prescribing it, whilst i goggled dilaudid with pages from Australia, and the news filter and got 0 results. I would be happy just to be prescribed dilaudid and scrap the oxy's altogether. or even better case would be to lower my oxy script by half and get dilaudid. I rang up a chemist warehouse and the pharmacist said they don't have any in stock and that they hardly get scripts for it, very non existent here in melbourne, but he said fentanyl patch is the way to go and i told him that it would be bad for my tolerance, and it's why i wanted an alternative to oxycodone.
all in all I will post my outcome here next week.
