So I got kicked out of a pain clinic unknowingly. Just found out on accident.
My mom and I went to the same clinic. She was on MS Contin w/Lortab. I was only on percocet at that time. She failed a drug test (which you only take ONCE a year) for percocet. She's just naive about this stuff, but she took my medicine without asking. She and the family addresses she has a little bit of a problem (taking 2 lortabs a day instead of 1), but I'm not here to discuss this. She told the doctor the truth and said she stole them from me. I was unaware she had stolen and taken my percocets until it was too late.
My doctor basically said that legally, I, not her, am the one at fault and that I have committed a felony. He kept her on as a patient and me, too. At this time, I had been on MS Contin 15mg 3x daily. We both had two more appointments with him. They were uneasy appointments.The doc did some suspicious medication changes with me but I won't go into that. Point is, I knew they were trying to get rid of me.
They gave me a drug test during this time. I expected it and passed.
The next month they tested me again. I didn't expect it (they usually test once a year) and failed for cannabis.
I won't get into my disease, but it is hella painful. At this time I have about 25 pills left (MS Contins 30 MG). I take 2x a day. I have no choice but to use my remaining meds to taper myself down. They kicked me out without even tapering me down, which is so inhumane. Getting kicked out is making my life unlivable. That 60mg morphine made my life finally liveable. But now that they have kicked me out for failing for WEED (pssh its for the fucking morphine nausea!! >__<), I have to taper myself down.
I'm starting by not taking my night pain pill (I never abuse my meds. I take 1 30MG MS Contin once every 12 hours). I can handle withdrawals ya'll. It's the mental part and the physical pain from my incurable disease. Still, any tips on MS Contin would be appreciated. I have done fentanyl 25mcg cold turkey and the withdrawals lasted THREE STRAIGHT MONTHS. I know extended release opioids take longer to detox, much longer.
Ok so back to pain management, what should I do? Am I supposed to tell a new doctor the truth about what happened? If I did, they may take me as a drug seeker (I am 23 and look 16). But they may also believe me, and put me back on the 30mg MS Contin. This medicine makes my life LIVEABLE. Now I am right back to square one, bedridden. I have dreams and goals. And now its just crashing down because my stupid pain.
So any pain management advice on how to handle new doctors (I am going to a different town) is desperately needed from me.
One more thing. My doctor who treats my interstitial cystitis and pelvic floor disorder is an angel. I have a direct line to him, and I called him and asked him to send recommendation to a "narcotic only" pain management facility inside a hospital. He said he would, and I believe him, but they can't get me in for another 30+ days. I have a second appointment with another doctor just in case, and it is in a few days. So that may be the doctor that I just "tell the truth" to, because what have I got to lose? (my mom made the second appointment out of desperation.)
And I know for a fact all I need is the above doctor's recommendation. There is no requirement to transfer my records from my last clinic. I'd have to consent to that, and there is nothing making me do that.

I'm just rambling now, but thank you so much for the advice. I think that it is a good decision to be truthful.
