HI, MY NAME IS ASHLEY N.WHITAKER & I AM 23 YEARS OLD! I HAVE A LOT OF HEALTH ISSUES THAT I AM DEALING WITH & IT GETS VERY OVERWHELMING! I HAVE FIBROMYALGIA, CFS, RLS, CHRONIC MIGRAINES, ASTHMA, PTSD, DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, PANIC ATTACKS, MYCLONIC SEIZURES, AND NOW I HAVE AN ADDICTION TO ONE OF THE PAIN MEDS. MY DOCTOR PUT ME ON! I HAVE BEEN ON THIS PAIN MEDICATION NOW FOR OVER 11 YEARS! I ALWAYS FEEL LIKE I NEED TO TAKE MORE & MORE AND MY DOSE IS EXTREMELLY HIGH ANYWAYS! I WANT TO GET OFF OF IT BUT MY DOCTOR IS HARD TO TALK TO B/C HE'S JUST IN IT FOR THE MONEY! IF I WAS TO MENTION ADDICTION TO HIM HE WOULD LET ME GO AS A PATIENT & ON METHADONE I CAN'T JUST GO OFF COLD TURKEY B/C IT CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS! I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL THINGS ON MY OWN BUT SO FAR I HAVE NOT MADE IT! I WAS 13 YEARS OLD WHEN I WAS PUT ON METHADONE & I WASN'T GIVEN ANY WARNINGS OR ANYTHING! I FEEL LIKE MY DOCTOR HOLDS MY LIFE IN HIS HANDS! HE IS THE TYPE OF DOCTOR THAT GETS YOU ADDICTED TO EVERYTHING B/C HE KNOWS U WILL BE BACK EVERY MONTH FOR YOUR SCRIPT! A WHILE BACK THE DEA CAME INTO THE PLACE & THE DOCTOR LET 100 PATIENTS GO B/C HE SAID THEY FAILED THEIR DRUG SCREENS BUT THE TRUTH IS HE SHOULD OF NEVER BEEN GIVING THEM THE MEDS THEY WERE GETTEN & SO HE WOULDN'T GET INTO TROUBLE HE LET THEM GO! ANY ADVICE ANYONE?!
