Congradulations Sofar, are you and Chuckie the same guy by any chance? I am so glad you posted your story.Going to go for Bup on 7/9, tried like you when I went to a clinic. Live in the midwest, city of almost 1 million, they put me through such an ackward experience at the clinic I almost ran out. The whole purpose of this med is to make the person come forward for help, in a private confidential manner, not to have these smart alecks pull your pants down and spank you. I was so excited, then they basically told me about their program, asked how many they were treating, told me "no body yet", I see why, left.
Got back on the Samsa site and found another doc. An Arab in the middle of nowhere, but he went to Harvard and will be thrilled to treat alittle city girl like me, I'm sure.
I have used about 100-150 mgs of opiates for about 3-4 years. They helped with fibro and depression. I dont EVER buy illegally, but the gap is closing in on me, I am always out. I get so sick, you know the drill. THINK ABOUT THAT REAL HARD before you use agin, that awful drill, it is not worth it. Tell yourself maybe in a few years when you are really over, if you cant bear the thought of not having it again.
Are you on the Bup at all now, or completely off? Can you stay on this med long term for depression, pain control etc. You know I did alot of research and interesting thing is any doc can prescribe this off label for any reason like they do Botox, it is just they dont know much about it and it has the stigma. Anyway good luck and thanks for your account, I will read it again. Oh, and all the papers you had to sign, does that mean your name is on a hot list with local pharmacies or what? I am wondering why I hear so much about the papers???
Bye Arrie
