> You weren't serious about the Depakote,were you?
Actually, I was serious. There is some support in the medical literature that some anticonvulsants might help make withdrawal from certain drugs easier. I'm sort of taking a head-count to see if it really works.
> I was joking about the heroin.
Phew...
:-)
That's good. I wouldn't have judged you anyway, but I would have been a bit concerned as to the place such a habit would have in your treatment goals.
> Thanks again(are you a Dr.?Or is this a hobby?)
Neither. Like most of the others here, my failure to respond to the treatment of multiple doctors forced me to gather more information about my illness. People like me are not necessarily smarter than the average bear, but are driven to find some way to relieve pain, regain function, and find a path back to mainstream society. Fortunately, this website has attracted caring and nurturing people who are willing to share their knowledge and experiences, along with mutual support.
