Hey Doc --- I've needed an increase in the Methadone for some time -- but my doc just won't do it. And he doesn't tell me "why." He's probably afraid I'll get "addicted." LOL Typical. So then I asked him if he'd increase the Fentanyl Patch -- I'm on .75mcg. He said NO cause I'm already on a "high" dose. BULL CRAP. I know of others who are on a MUCH higher dose than I am. I don't know what's the matter with him. And I cannot switch docs cause there is NO other doctor in my area that prescribes pain meds --- I've already called EVERY SINGLE doctor in my area to check, and my doc is the only one!!!! Even in other cities/towns too! They're all afraid of the DEA!! My doc is extremely busy. LOL
Oh well. Thanks for asking tho.' Hugs, Lee
