Re: addiction vs dependance-- to Marg

[Guest guest]

Marg, you are taking the words right out of my mouth girl. I am so mad that

people in PAIN cannot get meds for PAIN. What the hell? Isn't that what they

were made for??????

I have actually heard of doctors who would not prescribe pain meds to dying

cancer patients because they were afraid the patient " might get addicted " ....

come on now. Where is the common sense there?

love ya,

Debra V.

i was reading an article on one of the narcotic pain meds mentioned to

ask my doc about, it explained about psychological addiction (for a

difference? this online article actually said that. i hardly doubt

docs, who passed med school, would not know the obvious difference

between the two. i still believe they play stupid or call us drug

addicts just so they won't have to write scripts.

which is negligence!

take care,
