> One appt she said I was a fast metabolizer and she had never seen anyone take doses as high as me. Six months later I asked her to up the dose on a stim, she did it but put dsb in my chart. She was evil. I hate her guts.Wow Phil, it seems we have a lot in common. I have been told a couple of times that I am a fast metabolizer. I was careful about asking for a drug increase b/c I was afraid of getting that label of dsb. But it was moot b/c I couldn't tolerate any more Ritalin b/c of hypertension and anxiety. Now the benzos......that's a different story. I'm so tolerant to them now I think it would take about half a bottle of ativan to have an effect on me. Sadly, benzos are out for me forever. :(
And I sympathize with hating a pdoc's guts. I have been through that too. Sometimes it seems that some of them are so devoid of compassion it makes you wonder why they went into the field.
Ive got a really bad disease
Its got me begging on my hands and knees
So take me to emergency
Cause somethin seems to be missing
Somebody take the pain away
Its like an ulcer bleeding in my brain
