Kiity, how ya doing? Everything is much better since she even called my script in several days earlier. Overall, she's a pretty cool doctor and I do understand their position, at least here in N.C., heck in my apt. complex alone, you can get just about anything you want (& yes, I'd love to turn them in), Ft. Bragg sits just about in my City's lap. I agree that it is not fair for those of us that do not abuse or sell our pain meds and I stick with believing the doctors could sort most of the abusers out. Let me sit in on a few of the patients and I could tell them! Then again, we do (or did), have a couple of doctors, for a couple of hundred dollars, that'll give you what you want, one was finally caught! Thanks for the kind words Rachel and hope your weekend is a blessed one as well. Take care and it's been a pleasure chatting with you on here~

Cynthia, you are very welcome! I'm so glad that you told your Doctor about me and let her know that you know there's no law restricting pain medicine and Benzos together, and am very glad she owned up to lying to you and upped your Xanax again! I agree with you that she never should have stopped it, withdrawal from it can cause seizures and death. I'm so tired of Doctors lying to patients so they can cover their behinds with the DEA. It's not fair to those of us like you and I who take our medications responsibly, we are not to blame for what addicts do. I'm just so happy that you are back on your Xanax, and hope you get back to feeling much better soon! Best wishes and take care. My real name is Rachel by the way. :) Anyway, hope you have a pain and anxiety free blessed night and upcoming weekend.

Hi Kiity! Just got off the phone with my Xanax doctor and guess what? There is NO law! She admitted it when I brought you up. What she said was DEA or whoever was coming down hard on them and wanting them to stop us from having both pain meds and Benzos because of all the sudden deaths (which does confuse me a tad about the State of Mass.). So she is upping my script again, which to me she should've never stopped because not one time have I ever called her or any pain doctors I've had for early refills on anything! Maybe she had problems with other patients? Who knows...I'm just so glad she is upping mine again, now I won't be a threat to anyone! hahaha just kidding to all reading this. (meaning losing my temper like I had just started to do in the last few days). Thanks for everything Kiity and for understanding and trying to help me, I do appreciate it! {edited for privacy}. Oh and 100% agree with what you said: "That's just ridiculous. It's making things twice as hard for us legitimate patients in pain who also have anxiety and/or depression." Thanks again for everything and hopefully this will post right away, the one from yesterday didn't. Take care~

Cynthia, Thank you and I hope you have a good week too. I'm truly sorry about what you are going through. I want to clarify my statement from before, I meant there was no federal law requiring patients to go to a specialist for pain medications, and I'm positive there's no federal law against prescribing pain meds and benzos together, but I had no knowledge of individual states such as yours passing these laws. That's just ridiculous. It's making things twice as hard for us legitimate patients in pain who also have anxiety and/or depression. I keep up with all the news on things happening in the pain world, but hadn't heard about this happening in certain states. I'm going to do some research and see what I can find out, and I will post back later. I will get to the bottom of it and find out if there truly is a law like that, just to make sure you are being told the truth. There is a particular blog I would like you to check out, I can't write the exact name because this site won't allow it; but their name is Steve and they are a pharmacist. Put pharmacist first and then the name in google and you will find it. There's a wealth of information about everything going on right now. I wish you as much of a pain and anxiety free day as you can possibly have. Take care.

Thanks Kiity for the well wishes and all. I'm in North Carolina and I did google it a long time ago. Mass. was the first State (I think the first), to pass the law. Well this is strange I must admit, as I spoke with my Pharmasict today (sorry for misspelling, nerves are shot), and she said the same thing about that law being passed because of the drug abusers...maybe I need to move out of this State then! I've been in pain management since 2004 and my other doctor I've been seeing since 2000, (when I moved back here) a shrink due to busting my head in a car windshield in a very bad car accident back in May of 1987. She (shrink), even called to tell me about that law being passed before she started weaning off my Xanax. Hmm...something needs to be done as I can tell a big difference with my personality, meaning I get short tempered a whole lot faster than I use too, my sleeping is not good either, etc. Like I told my pharmacist today, I don't see why a doctor cannot tell the difference between someone that needs pain meds and an abuser...MRI's, and any diagnostic would be a give away for starters, not to mention how they act with the doctor. No PCP here will give pain meds but they will refer you to pain management as that's how I got my start with pain management. I plan on talking with the doctor that gives me the Xanax in the next few days as I don't have any refills left which makes me think, the next script I get is going to be even lower! Plus the side effects of Buspar make me nervous...raising my B/P is one, yeah like I need it to be higher, I'm going to end up having another heart attack is what's going to happen. Oh well, I'll see what she has to say but don't think it's going to do any good as N.C. has that law, which I'm surprised as we're usually the last State to pass anything! Take care and have a good week~

Cynthia, I didn't read through your entire post before I posted before. To answer your question, yes my Clonazepam script I got this month from my pain management Doctor of almost 10 years is for the same amount It's always been. All of my scripts are. There is no law or guideline requiring Doctors to refrain from prescribing pain medication and benzos together, Doctors just don't want the liability and are scared of the DEA; and so they are lying to patients and blaming the DEA because patients are much less likely to argue with them if they think their Doctor has no choice. This is happening all over. Google what I just told you and you will find out the truth. I wish you well, sorry you are going through this.

Cynthia, I live in Alabama and I know I'm prescribed Percocet, Oxycontin, Clonazepam, and Methocarbamol together. I do know people who receive pain meds, depression meds, and benzos together from their primary care doctors! I don't know where YOU live, but these are the facts. If you care to read through the comments, many others have said what Verwon says is untrue, because they receive pain medications and benzos from their primary doctors as well. Some doctors like to tell their patients that they can't presribe these meds together and refer them to pain management because they are running scared of the DEA and are covering their behinds. There is NO such regulation requiring patients in the US to see a specialist to receive pain meds, that's just untrue; and I stand by my previous statement. Like I said, many PCP are sending patients to pain management because they don't want to face the wrath of the DEA, not due to a non existent regulation. Telling patients in pain looking for a Doctor untrue information about a non existent regulation requiring them to see a specialist to be treated is just wrong.

Kiity, don't know where you live nor do I think it matters but I see 2 doctors and Verwon is NOT lying! Both my doctors told me I can not take percocets And Xanax in the same day because of a law that was passed this year so I'm being weaned off of my Xanax which I've been on for well over 20 years and percocets since 2004. I'm getting ready to try Buspar but will admit am very nervous about being taking off of Xanax as I can already tell a difference in my life. My B/P has risen, feel more nervous and for sure am more short tempered.There's more but don't feel like talking about it as I think they might have to do with taking myself off of Lyrica. Thank the abusers for us not being able to get pain meds and benzos! Are your new scripts for the same amount you've been getting? My Xanax have gone from 90 two mg.s a month to 72 one mg. a month now...wonder what they'll be next month? I see my doctor again in July and for sure will talk to her about it as I cannot see my ever getting off of them...unless that Buspar works!

Verwon you are an absolute liar. It is now 2017and I personally have been and still am receiving pain meds and Clonazepam together from my pain management doctor since '07, and just received my new scripts a week ago at my appt. Furthermore, I personally know quite a few family members and frends who receive their pain meds and benzos from their Primary care doctors right now, and some I know have for 20 years or more. U need to stop spreading misinformation and outright lies. I'm not the only one who has noticed you doing this! What is your problem?

I was prescribed 6 to 8mg klonopin 2mg 3 to 4 x daily since 2003. That was my start dose. Apparently my old dr stopped reading updates in 94. I stopped. cut off 8 when he retired. I experienced the most horrific side effects. Physiological issues
that are still with me. That was was 2014 to 2015 until reinstated at 2.5 in March 15'. I'm now at 1.25 with a new dr who writes it as total 3mg .5 k. I'm tapering now slowly and smoothly. You need to find a benzo wise dr. I use one at sheppard pratt baltimore md. She saw me at 87 lbs with ibs c. Strabismus, spasms, neuropathy .... and my heart rate was 130 or so... Please do not cold turkey. I was cut off from 8mg to 3mg to start the gaba A receptors and my entire CNS was damaged. Please find help to taper. It resides in the adipose tissue in your entire body.

Já fiz uso de altas dosagens de Lorazepam 2 mg, 8/dia, totalizando 16 mg. Penso que as dosagens devem ser personalizadas. Cada organismo reage de maneira diferente, a uma determinada substância.alprazolam 1 mg 3/dia. usei durante um longo período. Passo por uma experiência semelhante, com o diazepam.10 mg/dia. Cheguei a usar 100 mg/dia 10 comprimidos de 10 mg. hoje, apenas 1 de 10 mg. Penso que 6 ou 8 mg de xanax, não fazem tanta diferença. Isto é mais uma dependência psicológica,e talvez física. Fazer uma retirada xanax,adicionando e intercalando, carbamazepina (tegretol stab), e reduzindo o alprazolam, até uma dosagem de 3/mg dia,e depois acrescentar um anti-depressivo 'menor dose possível', e à noite de preferência, funciona para muitas pessoas. Dificilmente notamos uma 'intoxicação benzodiazepina'. As vezes,uma associação 'dimesilato de dislexanfetamina'/sais, e algum sonífero, assim como a fluoxetina 20/dia, e diminuir o xanax para no máximo 3 mg dia, pode não ser tão 'horrível', quanto à simplesmente ir diminuindo. Seja qual for a 'benzodiazepina', uma vez dependente, sempre dependente, ainda que somente a dose noturna. Já passei por fortes 'crises de abstinência', e não deve ser muito diferente dos 'opiácios'. Mas penso que simplesmente ir aumentando a dosagem, de acordo com a tolerância, não é o 'melhor caminho'. Suplementos vitamínicos, também podem serem úteis (complexo B).

Google Translate (may not be 100% accurate):

I have already used high dosages of Lorazepam 2 mg, 8 / day, totaling 16 mg. I think dosages should be customized. Each organism reacts differently, to a particular substance.alprazolam 1 mg 3 / day. I used it for a long time. I go through a similar experience with diazepam 10 mg / day. I got to use 100 mg / day 10 10 mg tablets. today, only 1 out of 10 mg. I think 6 or 8 mg of xanax does not make that much difference. This is more a psychological dependency, and perhaps physical. Make a xanax withdrawal, adding and intercalating carbamazepine (tegretol stab), and reducing alprazolam, up to a dosage of 3 / mg day, and then adding a 'lower dose' anti-depressant, and preferably at night many people. We hardly noticed a 'benzodiazepine intoxication'. Sometimes a combination of 'dimethylylate of dislexamphetamine / salts, and some sedative, as well as fluoxetine 20 / day, and decreasing xanax to a maximum of 3 mg per day may not be as' awful' as simply decreasing. Whatever the 'benzodiazepine', once dependent, always dependent, although only the nocturnal dose. I've been through 'abstinence crises', and it should not be very different from 'opiates'. But I think simply increasing the dosage, according to tolerance, is not the 'best way'. Vitamin supplements may also be helpful (B complex).

Para sair mais em conta, escolha uma dose menor possível, mas pelo menos razoável, mas, ao pegar a receita,explique ao médico para colocar uma dose de prescrição, maior do que você toma. Quebre sempre o Xanax, em 2 ou 3 pedaços, e faça o maior espaçamento de horas entre uma dose e a próxima. Com isto, evita ter que aumentar a dose, e desenvolver dependência. Só não faço isto com o Valium 10, 1 por dia, porque se eu esquecer, não faz diferença, pois, a dose é insuficiente. Potencializo ora com Propanolol, ora com Prometazina. Estou em busca de algum 'benzo', que realmente faça pelo menos alguma diferença.

Google Translate (may not be 100% accurate):

To get more in mind, choose a smaller, but at least reasonable, dose, but when taking the prescription, explain to the doctor to put a prescription dose, greater than you take. Always break Xanax in 2 or 3 pieces, and make the largest spacing of hours between one serving and the next. This avoids having to increase the dose, and develop dependence. I just do not do this with Valium 10, 1 a day, because if I forget, it makes no difference, therefore, the dose is insufficient. I potentiate with Propanolol, sometimes with Promethazine. I'm looking for some 'benzo', which really makes at least some difference.

I am looking for a pain specialist either in Charlotte, Gastonia, Rock Hill, Shelby or Spartenburg who is prescribing large amounts of narcotic medication. I know how that sounds so let me explain a little. I've had 16 surgeries on my arm, 5 on my spine, 2 on my leg after it was ripped half off in a motorcycle accident and then 2 more on my arm again. So I live in a lot of pain daily and can't find a stupid Dr. That's willing to give me what I need to function every day. If you know of one personally who will prescribe larger amounts than most I would appreciate a name and number to the drs office, thank you all.
