The PHD on my street was talking to him when we went for a walk. He agreed with me as he did addictions conseling as a kind of part-time time between totally retiring. he said it protects the doc from seeing if you use illegal drugs and he would have it on file and to ask for a test that is available to show you are not abusing the med and only taking what he prescribes. Wow what a surprise he will have when he sees I'm taking less than he prescribes. other options are my old pdoc she will phone in a prescription. My Son contacted her as his wife is a patient there and he works with her evaluating Vets for PTSD. Thanks for your concern. But the last thing I would ever do is abuse meds. heck I haven't had even 1 drink in over 10years the amt of time I've been on SSRI's, SSNRI's and in the hospital to try and adjust the doesages the docs at home know they don't work for me either. love Jan ps that has been l0 years maybe I should go back to the beer. I only drank it before bed to unwind as I worked 3-11 on psych. And was the charge on the floor and the only RN and we were responsible for all the doctor's orders being correct, addmitting and transfetting pts. and admitting them, evaluating them in the ER and sometimes having to get Security to help restrain someone so we could medicate them or keep them safe and the other pts safe from harm. Boy that job was more stressful than I thought. If I hadn't written it down I wouldn't have remembered. Oh then having to rush to the pharmacy to pick up meds not in the patients drawers, do the groups, care plans, and review all the orders for the day to make sure they were correct. Wow I'm getting tired right now. I think I would love a beer right now. Love again Phillipa
