I have abused vics and oxys and norcos and percocets.....pretty much anything I could get for the last 3 years. I went through $24000 in 6 months buying it on the street. I never tried to get it from a doctor. About a month ago a friend said stop your killing yourself take this. Its methadone and you wont even miss the other pills. She was right. I feel great now. Only 2 or 3 10 mg doses a day and I'm good. BUT I still have been buying this on the street. My question is, what are the odds if I explained all this to my medical doctor that he would prescribe this for me? I know I would still be using opiates if I hadn't found methadone. Is is difficult to get a famly doctor to understand and help? Thanks for any help. I hope to be going to my doctor next week to talk to him but I'm scared to death he'll put a flag on my records and my privacy will be shot and he'll think Im drug seeking, which in a way I am but for the good. What are your thoughts ???Thanks
