Brian, Thanks for the offer...but then everyone would know my 'problem.' My future mother in law is a psycho-therapist who specializes in addictions. She doesnt even have a clue! I hide my problem very well. Right now, the choice between legal action and keeping access to stadol is a no-brainer.
How can you blame a drug company? They label it as potentially habit-forming. Or do you blame the doctors who keep prescribing it? How can you blame anyone but me? I am the idiot with no self-control.
FYI - I am well-stocked with Stadol once again. My days are a series of intense relief (intial dose)...thoughts of it all day....keeping an eye on my purse (my bottle is in there)...carefully planning each dose...pushing myself an extra ten minutes longer...intense tiredness...contentment that I still have lots of refills...disgust that I still have lots of refills.......
