I've just seen this thread (Thanks Madmick!), and I think Madmick is on the right track. I'm an emergency doctor, and I have a sympathy for the consuming community that many of my colleagues don't, and even I won't give out scheduled drugs from the ED. Ever. It's too random, and if you are really trying to sort your shit out, it'll take at least weeks, and probably months. Random points of operation...
a)Most good GPs will try to help you if you are honest with them. They are reneging on their duties if they don't, and could actually be reported to their state medical board for undue prejudice if they blow you off too lightly. If they can't help, they should refer you to someone who will.
b)No doctor I know will take 'advice' from the consumer (except on where to site an IV!) as to what drugs they think they should be prescribed. You may THINK you know what's best for you, but your right to make those decisions was kind of suspended when you became dependent on opiates/benzo's/rhubarb or whatever...
c)Life is hardest when you are on our 'list'. Don't fool yourselves that as a profession we don't have one. Every department of health has a seekers list, and it is HARD to get help when you are on it. Doctors don't like being lied to/having their prescription pads stolen etc, and they are unforgiving about it. The best thing to do in these circumstances is to try to persuade someone/anyone, that you are serious about changing your lifestyle, and getting them to get in to bat for you. It may help to get a reformed consumer to come in to your appointment with you, to vouch for you....
If I think of anythiing else, I'll post it- good luck to all.
