Bad experience with addictive prescription



here is a story my friend passed along to me:

What do you call it when...

A drug pusher gives you some heroin and them when you are addicted he starts charging you for it. Later, when you canty pay enough to get enough of it, they will make you their slave, a drug runner or whatever, maybe a prostitute.

In medicine, a Doctor gives you a substance that they say will help you, and declares it not to be addictive, and gives you increasing amounts of it over a number of years. Also, there are some side-effects that the doctors won't admit is coming from that pill. Then, when you move to another area of the same country, their doctor peers there refuse to give it to you, and offer no help to beat the addiction.They tell me I am not in pain too, but thats another issue about Fibromyalgia denials.
{I got screwed in this life , having both morphine addiction and a disease they still deny is real!! As in, why did they prescribe morphine to me if its not real? As if all pain is not in the brain and all feels real whether or not it comes from an injury.}

They refuse to treat the morphine's side effects too, saying they are part of the drug taking, basically telling me "its your fault you goofball".

The one thing they do offer you is other drugs, newer pharmaceuticals that put your brain to sleep in specific areas, so you don't complain so much. They don't help, they make me feel worse.

Eventually I have to buy street drugs to continue living, the withdrawals nearly made me suicide successfully.

Although the doctors don't get a direct pay-back like the drug pushers do when you become addicted and dependant on their drug, these two scenarios are similiar. Doctors got paid for prescribing morphine to me, and they get paid a little extra for prescribing the newer pharmaceuticals. It is abusive to prescribe an addictive drug and then not offer any support when it come time to stop it, and to give no support for the side effects "because they are from your drug-taking". To confuse the issue, these symptoms mimic Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and I was diagnosed by a specialist as having IBS, which makes it a Conspiracy - the specialist didn't think the morphine was causing my intestinal problems, despite these symptoms being typical of morphine addiction!!

Ok ok, I know it is just my personal weakness that keeps me addicted, but this horror could not have happened without that morphine prescription. I didn't request it, and mom was with me and she asked outright - "IS IT ADDICTIVE?", to which he looked her in the eye and said "no, not at these levels". That starting level was 30 mg three times a day. When I tried to quit last summer, I was at 30mg once a day, 1/6th the level I started at. It was still unbearable withdrawals.

"Damn drug addicts, they should be shot" - thats the established attitude for morphine addicts, and it would be a whole lot more humane to shoot me, but they won't do it.

I think this rates as a "bad experience with doctors" ...
