Yes, narcotic management. 11 yrs stable on rxs. 2 yrs ago i was givenoxycodone 30mgs 6x daily.plus 60the morphine every 8 hrs. Later reduced to 4 oxy a day w my morphine extended release. No problem. Florida laws got strict soon after that. 8 days later i went to my pm Dr. I took substitute as perscribed. Little effect. Happy to b off the oxy, but, my pain is clearly affecting my job and standard of living. When i addressed this with him, he replied, deal with what i gave you or go to rehab. I intensely studied the meds on official sites. Pain relief reduction was just above 65%. On second visit i told him again of my struggles. He proceeds to type notes in my chart after my statement. Meaning he flagged me as an addict, perhaps.
I don't know what to do. Get or try another Dr? Who will read the notes. I agreed tapering down. He won't. Listen and one gotten more depressed in pain. House chores stackin up. What do i do? Urgent help please!!!

i am skeptical about the pain management course as they reduce your medication and get you to do more physical stuff i am on fentynol Patches 75 mg/ph and i have temporarily boosted my medication by adding patches for about 6 or 7 hours which gave excellent pain re-leaf and allowed me more freedom, ( i am not saying this is going to work for everyone i took serious risks doing this and should not be done by anyone) the pain management works in reverse which i am scratching my head at, i don't see how this going to work as with out my patches to mask the pain i fell worse not better, so this will be interesting i do believe they push to to the limit and help psychologically but this has to be seen.
