Sorry about your frustration with your Doctors. I've just about had a meltdown with all my "handlers" lately too.

I took a moderately high dose of Hydrocodone ( 20-40 mg a day) for 3 years, and decided to quit in Oct 2008. Since then, for every problem I go to a Dr. with I am told it's withdrawl. I tapered for 6 months btw. Nov '08 - April '09, and haven't touched any since April 27, 2009. It's as though they are fixated on the opiates and can't see outside that box. I had a GI tell me today that severe gastrointestinal contractions that go from esophagus to rectum are from withdrawl. Why didn't I have this problem when I first quit the opiates??? And why were they getting worse until I started taking tianeptine? Go figure! I could scream. Whew. Sorry, I hope I didn't hijack your thread!

I'm going to try and locate my GP again. She left private practice in 2008 but I hear she's back. If you have even one compassionate Dr. stick with that one. But I hope you don't give up. I'm not!
