Open Question: I’m looking for a doctor who can prescribe me the same as my doctor now?
So 2 years ago i broke my back and had major reconstructive surgery. Post surgery i was on a lot of pain killers and i ended up getting dependent on them and addicted. So 2 years later, I have tried suboxone and methadone and have found much success with both. However, the suboxone gives me tremendous headaches and I can’t go throughout my daily routine which consists of working in an office. I hold a full time job and am quite successful for a 24 year old recent college grad. Anyways, the doctor i have been seeing prescribes me methadone. I have found much success with the methadone because it takes away all my urges to use other pain killers and it takes away some back pain which i still experience depending on what i do. I did break my back and i have 2 rods, and 5 screws holding my L2 together… Now this doctor is great. He and I have some trust going and he drug tests me frequently to make sure i’m not on pain killers and only taking methadone. I pass his drug tests and he seems satisfied. THe only problem is that he is too far from me. 30 minutes away and he often requires an hour or longer wait to see him for 10 minutes.. I was searching around my area for a closer doctor and have found a few, but none prescribe methadone… they only do suboxone which i think i have a bad reaction to and cannot take without having side effects. it also gives me anxiety through the roof. I was getting some methadone from my GP, who then told me i needed to go to a new doctor to get the methadone and the doctor i go to now is the one who i went to after my GP. I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions on what i could do here… It’s just annoying that i have to go so frequently to a doctor 30 minutes away, wait an hour or longer and get 20-25 pills only to come back a week to 2 weeks later to do the same routine all over, while working a full time job. I was getting 120 a month from my GP and that was more than enough, that would last me 2 months and i would go back. I did this for about 10 months. All the doctors i called won’t prescribe methadone… I called the doctors in my area .. i called 6 doctors and none of them follow the same routine as the doctor i see now… anybody have any suggestions?

Open Question: When do I give up on this relationship?
I have been in an odd relationship for about 7 years now. It’s been a crazy 7 years! It started because my husband and i separated because he was dating a younger woman. This guy (we’ll call him Bryson) and i work together. we started a little fling. My husband and i made the decision to try to work things out about 3 months later. So i ended things with Bryson. a few months later we went on a business trip together, drinking was involved….then sex. Not using alcohol as an excuse but it was a factor. I got pregnant. I immediately told my husband that the baby may not be his and what I had done. I also spoke with Bryson. All parties agreed that we would not have a paternity test and my husband and i would raise our child with him as the father. After or daughter was a year old my husband and i decided it wasn’t going to work between us so he moved out. This began a three year confusing on/off relationship between Bryson and I remaining best friends even in the off period. I love Bryson so much. Through out the last three years there have been signs here and there that he loves me. He’s said it a few times. We have now been in a steady relationship and living together for 18 months. We get along great. No arguments, spend 99% of our time together, my kids love him, my family loves him…we only have one issue….he isn’t in love with me. He told me this 6 months ago. He is a Virgo through and through…and he’s been on methadone for addiction to prescription pain pills (3 year addiction) for a year. I know virgo men do not fall in love easily and I have read all about the side effects of methadone. But it’s hard being in a relationship without passion or love. I was going to leave a few months ago and he broke down and told me he didn’t want me to go. That his feelings were stronger than he thought. So i stayed. Don’t get me wrong, our relationship has come a long way in the last 3 years. Living together isn’t something i thought would ever happen yet here we are Steph, I’m not nasty. I’m not saying what i did was right but people have affairs grow up. And my boyfriend is an addict but he is getting help and i helped him with that. He has been in a program for a year. The medicine they have him taking effects his ability to express his emotions and it significantly lowers his sex drive.

Resolved Question: How to make my paremts understand that i need help?
For months now ive been holding in all of my emotions. I have depression and anger problems n i know i have anxiety dissorder n I just had a panic attack, i exploded. I couldnt take it anymore n i just started crying n i felt crazy, i felt as if i wasnt myself. I got so scared because i felt like if i was going crazy and my whole body started being weird n twitching.Ive come to the point where i just want to die. The thing is i get more angry and feel like i cant do anything about it because when i actually try to tell my mom about it all she tells me is that i’m fine and that by trying to get help from a phycologist or doctor will be worst because all they will give me is medicine and she doesnt want me on them. I had finally got her to send me to the doctor because of chest pains i was having n i told my doctor my symptoms and she told me that i could have anxiety dissorder and she started asking me questions of what was wrong and why i had anxiety if its family problems or what (which it is) but when she would ask me i couldnt even answer. I was scared because my mom was right there and i dont tell her many things and also because i was scared i would just start crying, ive been really emotional lately n i hate it because its getting harder to hold in n i’m scared that one day im just going to go crazy and have a panic attack in front of someone. my doctor told my mom that it was best if she was to get me help with a phycologist but of course she didnt. Ive been getting worst and cant do anything about it because my family just doesnt understand and doesnt even care about me. I feel like one day their going to learn the hard way that i need help by them actually experiencing me having a panic attack but i dont want that to happen, i dont want to feel and look crazy. I just want some way for them to know that i need help and to actually get me help, please help. How do i get them to understand? (sorry its so long)
