[QUOTE="DarkwingPsyduck, post: 686775, member: 20267"] Rush is one of the biggest hypocrites on Earth. Before his addiction scandal broke, he had not ONE kind word for or about drug addiction, and drug addicts. Referring to us as weak, and morally bankrupt. So, I laughed my ass off at that news. Guy is an enormous dick. My uncle LOVES his, though. I walked into the living room yesterday, and baby was watching her TV, while he listened to Rush. I had to ask "Damn, what did the baby do to deserve THIS cruel and unusual punishment?". I REALLY do not like the man, or what he stands for. I didn't mean to say that people on pain managment were addicts, or anything. I know that they need it to maintain quality of life. It'd just be nice if the doctors properly explained the nuances of the drugs they prescribe. So they don't lose their :censored2: when the are out, wondering why they feel like death. Suboxone and Methadone doctors are even worse. In order to work with Suboxone, they require extra education. Which is an 8 hour course, in which they are supposed to learn the ins and outs of the drug, and addiction itself. Most of the time, that is not enough. I am seeing doctors start patients at 32mg+ a day, Which is absurd. First of all, the drug does have a ceiling. It works, but doesn't work BETTER with a higher dose than truly needed. There is no benefit to that kind of dosage, and poses health issues of its own. My doctor wanted to start me at 24mg a day. I decided to start at 8mg a day, and even that was probably excessive. He also didn't understand the very basics of a taper. Not once did he suggest I lower my dose. He was perfectly content with me 120 dollar monthly visit, and had no reason to stop it. As I am sure you are aware, you need to be careful with the benzos. As far as I know, there has never been a death attributed to benzos alone. I took an ass load one time. Didn't remember 3 entire days of my life, but that was that. Mixing benzos is what is actually dangerous. Mixing it with opiates or alcohol can prove fatal.
