[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 460276, member: 1514"] I never wanted to be put on morphine but they now have these stupid pain management clinics because the DEA got all over our family doctors when they were prescribing for their regular patients that they had known forever. I suppose that there were bad doctors who did over prescribe. I have been on pain medications for years now but they have been at different levels and different medications. First starting out with a really mild one...darvocet which isnt even on the market anymore. I tried ultram which I quickly learned I am allergic to. Or maybe allergic isnt quite the term..horrible reaction...I throw it up immediately. I hated being on so many of the medications which had tylenol added in to them...taking them as needed or 3 times a day per script. I was on vicodin for several years 3 times a day as needed and I cant stand taking that much tylenol into my body...I think it will kill you faster than anything else. Heck they have just lowered the OD level on that again. As soon as my old family doctor stopped practicing full time at his old office, I switched to the office his dtr worked at because she had seen me once or twice and I had hoped that he could vouch for my character...but she refused to prescribe pain medications and sent me off to the pain doctor. Now normally I am pretty happy with them with me. I usually see this older doctor who has been really great but once in a while I see the younger guy I saw today and I dont like him as much, he is more pill happy. I have told them from the get go that I dont like the pills. I wanted to be on the lowest amount possible. In fact, I started on the 15 mgs and the older guy made me go up to the 30s because he saw me walking and said I simply couldnt be getting enough relief. I agreed to give it a shot if he assured me I wouldnt feel funny. I dont like the fact that they seem to be pushing procedures. I also dont like some of the clientele I see in the waiting room and the conversations I have overheard but that isnt my business. I know what I think but maybe I am making assumptions that are not correct. [/QUOTE]
