Last time i ate xanax... i ended up in jail for 6 months, haven't touched that shit since. Alcohol pretty much does the same thing, except i have more control of myself.
this is true. I think they prescribe valium more thoughI told my vet that my dog gets scared of thunderstorms, and she gave a a script for 30 2mg bars.
You've hit the nail on the head. If you begin the hell ride of the trial and error process which is finding the medication you need, and finally find that medication, then you quite possibly are going to need to do something other than listen to, 'doctor knows best'. Sometimes you know best, and the doctor never will know better. That's why the solution to this case is playing the game.Dude, you are in a shitty spot but they did the right thing. They are trained to spot "drug seeking" behavior. And you display it. When my Doc refused to prescribe a certain med, saying he wanted the shrink to do it, he was passing me off for someone to make a judgement. He did not want to be blamed. The shrink talked to me for 3 sessions before he would change my meds. It's his job. And in those sessions, I had to convince him I was not "drug seeking".
You do this by researching a bunch of mental/pain killers, including narcs, benzos, miltown (carbox something), SNRIs, etc, creating a chart of pros and con, and asking him to try something new, so you can drop your benzo and narcotic usage. In my case, it was an SNRI with pain killing properties, ie: cymbalta or effexor. Once on THAT for a month, and still needing a benzo or narc or whatever, and they will give it to you if you are not an asshole about it.
Play the game, get what you want.
But you gotta play their game.
