[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 399873, member: 1233"] Janet, I had the SAME experience with medications when I had the cellulitis. The ONLY reason they didn't stop the fentanyl was because I called the pain doctor and he said that if they stopped it he would file against them for malpractice as I have real pain and NEED that medication and stopping it suddenly is life-threatening. Of course they ignored him on the lyrica - I made husband bring my purse and took my own by the 3rd day. Then I had a migraine and they tried to tell me the hospital doesn't have migraine medications in the pharmacy - I called BS when I realized they didn't even know what medications treat migraines. CM, he NEEDS a dual diagnosis facility because this one will NOT be able to understand the complicated problems with chronic pain patients and addiction and mental illness. NO WAY will they handle it appropriately. I hope hte psychiatrist can get a bed in the appropriate facility. Benzos are not allowed at all because they are a medication that the patients will forcibly take from each other and/or will force the staff to get for them if they know that ANYONE on the premises has them. Benzos are weird with addiction that way. In many ways I think it is nuts, but it is common. I pray that he gets better very soon. And that you and the kids can develop healthier ways also. [/QUOTE]
