I am just pissed off. I took initiative to get myself off of oxy I had been on it over 20 years... I needed such high doses I needed to make a choice. Feel like I have been punished by the medical community ever since. I have legitimate pain issues and had to stop working and had to get on disability, I worked full time in some great professional jobs for over 30 years. There is such a Stigma associated with it. I had to have some dental work, couple extractions, no problems I was told just stop taking the sub and take the pain pills, I really needed them. So I did things the proper and honest way. But my family dentist, just a small town local guy. He gave me a script, ya like 8 pills, that's all, ok. When I went to get them filled the pharmacy called my dentist and told him I was on suboxone for drug addiction... really? So it scared the hell out of my dentist and he changed the Perscription to Naproxin. That left me suffering when the novacane wore off. For that first 24 hours I was absolutely miserable and had to deal with terrible pain. Then even the next day was difficult. I was so angry. Had I just gone to a small local pharmacy and said I had no insurance, I could have got the pain pills, but no... I wanted to just do things the right way and not lie about it. So now I guess even if I have surgery, good luck getting anything for pain probably ever in my whole life again. I suffer with occassional muscle spasms but when I get them, Valium is a miracle medicine for me. No doctor will rx me that while on suboxone. Even on a small dose of suboxone. So thank goodness for etiz for now at least I know how to get something to help me. They would rather put me on a ridiculous high dose of doxepin, which I had to take everyday and I gained 60 lbs.. yes... 60. So instead of having a quick release medication for the anxiety I was given crap that almost put me into diabetes... I tapered myself off of that shit and the weight melted off of me. These doctors they suck.. they think nothing of trying to get me to take a cholesterol lowering medication for borderline high ldl... which has so many side effects.. including added pain. Which I was disappointed my doctor never even took this into consideration. They were really pushing. I said no . I will re test in 3 months. So... just disappointed and kinda angry about it all. Anyone else?
