In reply to Need Doctor to Prescribe Opiates in Baltimore, posted by Annie Z. on December 9, 2001, at 11:13:55
Hi Annie,
I was reading through the JH psychiatry homepage earlier in the year. I moved out here recently and was also looking for a psychiatrist. They don't seem to be the kind of folks who are going to try that form of therapy (buprenorphine.) The dr who was involved in publishing "Buprenorphine for Treatment Resistant Depression" in 95 has long since left JH. There has been quite a bit of research at JHU on BUP for cocaine or heroine addiction. The guys who do most of this research aren't MD's but PhD's and alot of the testing had been on animals. Anyhow, after reading up on the affective disorders page and looking through some of the dr's recent publications, I kinda concluded that they aren't all that progressive.> These doctors ought to be ashamed of their selves. They lobby to keep the prescription privilege theirs, and then they put up so many hurdles for us to get the medications, leaving many people to unnecessarily suffer greatly and legally extorting thousands of dollars in the process.
I agree.
