i hope things are okay with your new pdoc. that's such a pain in the ass having to change no matter what the reasons are. i left a wonderful great psychiatrist/therapist in L.A. i had for three years when i moved to NY. I've been here 15months and I'm on my third going to the fourth.
i'm biopolar 1, add, learning disabilities, fun stuff, been on everything
currently
the new shrink is trying
lamactal and topamax but my insurance who cover the topamax so that's not working out so welli've always had a strong response to opiates. finally i talked my pdoc into trying buprenex. she was so strange about it. she would actually write me a script for methadone (as an off label anti-depressant) but not for buprenex. she felt that the DEA would be after her because buprenex is not legal for her to write scripts for. So she sent me to some doctor who has advertising in the back of village voice. So i have to see him to get the scripts.
It's been strange. It didn't work at all at first. But i was tapering off huge doses of meds. My lithium, celexa, adderall, risperdal, clonapan, and after 2 weeks i stopped. then after 2 weeks i tried it again and since then i have different reactions each day. One day it takes possibly three hours for me to actually feel it. Then another day an hour. Some times one ampule is enough. Another day it isn't.
anyway i don't know if you'll even get this but i hope you are continiuing to get your script for the vicodin.
