If he's been a judgmental fuck this entire time, what makes you think he still won't be once you have confirmed what he has predetermined about you from the start? While, granted, I defo agree that ideally, its the best thing to do (be completely honest with your doctor) but in the real world, 100% honesty is NOT the best option, but depends on the doctor, the patient, the problem, how long you've been his patient, ect. If I were in that situation you described, I would find a different doctor that will NOT be judgmental, or at least be open enough to hear what you have to say before jumping to any premature conclusions. I've been both a medical professional behind the scenes hearing the snide comments and snickers everytime a "drug seeker" came in, and while staying silent and professional, but compassionate as possible to the addict, I was freaken thankful no one knew MY double life. Haha if they only knew. If they did, the gossip never got back to me anyway, but my point is better to be cautious and conservative to feel the doc in question out, rather than risk getting a big old KDS fuckin lable on your chart. I'd keep my mouth shut to him, but say, look doc, is there maybe something else I could try? The prescribed amount for pain just wasn't cutting it. Emphasize you had intense breakthrough pain, but I wouldn't tell him you took more pills than he prescribed. This also raises red flages to prick pharmacists, if they, too, want to be dicks. Maybe he will switch you to a stronger Rx, or up the dosage, and in the mean time try to find a different doc if this one's a dick. In emergencies, when my Rx is running low, I stock up on white grapefruit juice, drink one 8 oz glass of it on an empty or not full stomach with a half dose--and it should do the trick to get you through til refill time. It has to be white, not pink, and it has to be juice, not grapefruit drink. It enhances your dose double time, does for me anyway, and I'm only on codeine, a weak opiate. Tagamet if you have some will make the effects last longer. Hope this helps.
