With pain medications you don't get refills.  They CANNOT give you more than 30 days at a time.  IT can take 30 days for a new doctor to get the records, another 30 to review them and then 2-3 months to actually get you in for an appointment.  withdrawal is horrible.  I feel amazing pity for heroin addicts and think methadone programs for them are wonderful and honestly a tapering methadone program is the only realistic way for a heroin addict to get and stay clean.  You  have NO idea how awful it is.  And it is dangerous. 


I am going to write a letter to my old pain doctor and see if, knowing my situation and the practice, he will agree to see me with-o the records and waiting.  I truly liked and trusted him and would have happily followed him if I had known he was leaving.  I hope it iwll work.
