Drs appt was a fucking bust..

[Violenza666]

oh wow, what a lady. i think you gave the right response, telling her she is in the wrong biz...

fent, and roxies, have a much greater street value then ms... and are pretty powerful and dangerous on the street...

i have been wishing and neeeeding a doctor who would recognize and know that the patches are pretty impossible to abuse more then once, and easy to monitor.


i would contact the medical board of ethics, especially if you can rally a few people together, then switch. she needs to be sitting up front with the receptionist, or before her colleagues explaining her behavior as she loses her license. i would fear her slandering your record if you do find a legit, pain management doctor. if you did contact the board of ethics, they would/could see your chart, as is. i would also express concerns about her doing such a thing, and that she wanted to refer you to a "pill mill", can they suggest any, level headed docs?(of course they couldnt)


is she married?
if so, she probably had his balls in her pocket...


the dea probably did sweep through there, or someone overdosed.
the pcp ive started seeing recently had 1 patient get popped, and another O/D.
im guessing that they were both selling their meds for H and/or coke.

Yea I am afraid of her fucking my record up as well. Thanks for the advice. I don't know what I am going to do as of yet. I have to cover my ass. Thank you for the advice... and thanks all...

I was prescribed Fentanyl patches and the lowest i have heard of is 25mqg

I am brand new here but thought I would share that I am very happy with the patch- I have a 12.5 (lowest dose) , changing every 48 hours as it ran out more quickly for me than for some, and with Norco for breakthrough I find it the best , even , consistent pain relief in my six years of chronic pain.

As far as I know they have changed the things that caused the deaths and there is no longer gel that can be obtained- the fent is in the adhesive and can't leak by accident

I should have said first- find another doctor ASAP. You need to be treated with dignity and compassion. That doctor is in the wrong business.

When you find a good pain management dr. I do thik the patch is worth a try.

Here's to pain control!

I used to be scripted to Fentanyl patches a few years ago and they started me out on 25mqg and I then later moved to the 50mqg patch...I have never seen or heard of there being a 12.5 mqg patch..Must be new or a different brand of patch...what brand name or whatver is it..mine were Duragesic Fentanyl patches and according to the PDR which is several years old and lists all the prescription meds and the chemistry and effects ,dosage forms etc..(PDR=Physicians' Desk Reference in case you did not know ..mines a hard back one with 5,000+ pages of pharm. drugs and all the information as well as quite a few color photos of vaiuos Pharms.) furagesic Fentanyl patches which are the only Fent patches I have ever seen anyone ever hav epersonally,, come in 25,50,75,and 100 microgram patches....interested in what toyr brand is with the 12.5 mqg(microgram) patch.

 

[Violenza666]

^There is a 12mcg patch... usually for tapering or starting up.... Not sure who manufacters it though.

 

[happygoluckygal]

FYI---the gel patches are still very much so out there and in use.

 

[a2lambretta]

I'm so sorry to hear that. Ironically today I had a similar situation. My usual back care doctor is out of town this week, conveniently leaving the day after a major medication change. I went from Fentanyl 75mcg patches to MS Contin, and it straight up did not work. The doctor "covering" for my doctor told me that he didn't want to see me on opiates period, and would not switch me back to the patches or refill my percocet script that has been consistent for a while now. I told him that I was experiencing extreme withdrawal symptoms and that my usual doctor told me that he would never make me stop using cold turkey and we would figure out a plan to sloooooowly transition to suboxone when the right time comes. Point being, I've only been on these meds for 6 weeks now, and we aren't anywhere close to having a diagnosis or having made any steps at all towards controlling my pain other than the opiate medications. I was so freaking sick, and this "covering" doctor had no sympathy and told me to go cold turkey off all the pain meds and that it would just be "a little uncomfortable". Forget that.

I ended up going to the ER and they gave me enough patches and percocet to last until my doctor comes back into town next week. I almost cried when the ER doctor came back in and told me he would give me the meds I needed. I was completely losing my mind.

My experience here is just another compounding example that having the right doctor can make or break the quality of a person's life. I hate to think where I would be right now if I didn't have the luxury of taking some time off work to figure out my back problems.

as a progressive degenerating fusing chronic pain patient, who after a year has finally found a PCP to work with me, AND a person with sense of morals. that statement is true, it makes me want to fucking puke. every day when i wake up, when i try to sleep, and wen i wake up while sleeping, im in enormous out of control pain. every day i think, i dont know if i can do this... but i do, some how.

im withdrawing lol, to drop tolerance, and feeling the most sensational pain all through out my body, atm. im scared my doc feels cornered, yeah this is going to be a big one, heh. but, hell never see another patient with this shit as long as he continues to practice. so hopefully he is interested in seronegative spondoapathies, i sure am.
:D

we sit, we wait, we wait in extreme pain, watching our families degrade as well. i consider my self a thinker, its what helps me fight, but holy mother fucker i can not think too much about, or understand the inhumane cruelty. i have so much paper work, its ridicules, i never have heard of such diseases, or if i had, i would of been blown away, but now they are the only guaranteed constant in my life.


i know one thing hahaa,,, and thats, no one can hurt me this much(except the wife ) and no one could ever punish me either(except the doctors), in this sense, there is some freedom.

So basically your doctor calls you a drug addict, AND THEN gives you fentanyl patches and oxycodone?!?!?

 

[Violenza666]

Yup... been giving me the oxy for months... just added the fent.. I don't get it either..

 

[K'd-OUT-in-AZ]

She's completely got everything backwards. If she were to diagnose someone with substance abuse disorder, she shouldn't be prescribing addictive drugs. She should be worried about losing her license. She doesn't know what she is doing.

BTW: Violenza, I'm not calling you a drug addict!

LOL she mentioned alot of dr's are losing their license and all that shit.. I went to her because she seemed "legit".. not like some dr that was just gonna throw pills at me.. I am starting to think she is an idiot. All these pointless and painful injections..

I know you're not calling me a drug addict.. lol

 

[K'd-OUT-in-AZ]

Violenza, I'm curious if you have put the patch on? If so, hows it working?

 

[Violenza666]

Violenza, I'm curious if you have put the patch on? If so, hows it working?

I am gonna start tommorow when the husband is home.. just in case.. I think my anxiety is kind of taking over on this one.. I also partaked in an oxy buzz today so my pain is mostly in check. The bullshit is even when I catch a buzz on my oxy... 80 or so mg I am still in some pain.

So when I put the patch on and I have breakthrough pain is it safe to take my roxis? I'm just afraid a little bit... Any advice? Should I take half my benzos to start?

Do you and your wife have yahoo or AIM?

 

[K'd-OUT-in-AZ]

Yes, I believe that's what you are supposed to do (roxies + patch) Sounds as if your anxious, I don't think that you need to take half.

Hold up, yes I've got AIM. I can PM you.

V666, I really feel for you as a fellow chronic pain patient. Seriously, I mean, isn't bearing our god damn pain enough? On top of this life ruining pain we have to fight with doctor to get adequate pain relief. We get treated like junkies. I never wanted to have this pain, but its just not fair knowing that there is relief out there for me, but b/w that relief and me are judgmental doctors who believe all I want the meds for is to get high. Makes me so fucking mad.

I'm on methadone now and its working really well. Fantastic. I dose once a day. I didn't even try going to a PM doc to get a script, I just went straight to a clinic. I have deal with doctor so much that I kinda developed a phobia about talking to doctors about my pain. Pretty soon I'll have to go the clinic once a month to get my doses and I'll have adequate pain relief for as long as I need it. I'm fine with that and very thankful that methadone is working so well for me. I have absolutely no pain, I can sleep well, eat well. It's awesome. Before this whatever I was getting from docs was never enough to cover my pain. I was always miserable. I went to so many docs and the one I found that gave me pain meds didn't give me enough so that I don't suffer.

Once I give birth in a few weeks I am going to start looking for a PM doctor. I'll get some work done on my spine so possibly they can figure out what the hell is wrong with me that I am having so much pain. I'm glad at least my mom believes me about the level of pain I am in w/o pain meds so is totally supportive about me going to the methadone clinic. I hate pain, my life would have been so much better w/o it.

I hope you find a good doc that is going to treat you like a human being and not make unfair assumptions. Keep us updated on your progress dear.

Thanks so much, and good luck giving birth. Is this your first kid? Are you going natural or c-section? If you wanna talk PM me any time. Thanks for your kind words. I greatly appretiate it.

WOW! That is ABSURD! Not only do I recommend you look for a new doctor, but I suggest you report the doctor that did this to you. She does not deserve a license. Doctors think that because they knew how to read a few books and do well on a couple of exams that they are geniuses. I fucking hate that wholier (sp?) than thou attitude, especially from a dumb ass doctor.

Report her ass, let her know you are doing so, and ask around for a good doctor who actually know what they are doing and has some freakin compassion!

(Sorry for the rant, but I have a severely handicapped brother and deal with shit doctors like this all of the time and it pisses the hell out of me!)
I am so sorry you had to deal with that BS. Good luck!

 

[Korn3x]

be really careful with those fent patches man. some really awesome and knowledgeable people have died on this website by overdosing on fent patches. even experienced users can fuck up by accident and OD.

Link to PhreeX's obituary thread:http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/showthread.php?t=462435 everytime i do a search it's always his threads that have so much good information for what i'm looking for.

 

[monstanoodle]

When I read this I was blown out of the water by how insane she sounded and that she came across as though she'd lost the plot entirely earlier that morning.

It honestly does sound like something had fucked up for her and she was taking it out on you and those other patients that her secretary mentioned (running out of there crying?!?! The heartless bitch! ).

No matter what happened, it was so, so, so unprofessional of her to do this and when you've got patients who are struggling every-fucking-day of their lives, trying to keep their head level and trying not to let their constant pain get the better of them.... it just makes that level of unprofessionality and lack of compassion shine through all the more

I'm still intrigued as to what it was that set her off in such a manner though. Seems like she totally lost it 8)

I read that the Fent patch seemed to do the job? (Atleast I think I remember seeing that in your other post) If so, that's really good to hear But I totally understand your apprehension...
We have lost many people here to Fent and that makes it even weirder that she'd do such a thing...
If I didn't know better I'd feel like she was trying to bump off her patients

Anyhoo, I hope you can sort out another Dr. quick-sharp and that, whatever you choose to do about your current one, that she gets what she deserves

 

[corruptedtessa]

wow.. that is ridiculous..fingers crossed that the bitch retires pretty soon! but yeah, find another Dr..best option is the pill mill lol.. seriously though, find someone that you can actually trust a bit, Dr shop for awhile but you should find one

as to the patches, i used to love the gel ones, beyond amazing, we would just scoop it out and either eat or shoot it.. but the ones now have no gel in them, and i cant imagine the drug could be extracted any other way (may be wrong on that) i always hate it when 'authority' catches on..sighs. good luck on your search, i hope you find a decent Dr for your needs
