What is the name of your state?NY
Hello,
I have a problem and I dont know where to go for help. I had a back operation 2003 and was sent home with pain killers. For a long period I was alot of drugs at once. I was taking Morphine 30mg, Norco 7.5mg, Neurontin 400mg, Duragesic 100. This went on for a long time because I was still complaining of pain. I had another back operation in 04, which I stated to Dr. it fixed my pain, but I also said still feel some pain in my lower back.
I mentioned about trying to stop taking all the med and he said you will have to do it slow. He then gave me Subox one (Not sure on spelling) I tried it one day and told him I couldnt finish because it was nasty. We never had another talk about taking a different med like Subox which is to help with withdrawals. I stopped taking the Neurontin and finally about 4 or so months ago, stopped taking the Norco on my own. But I'm still taking the Morphine and wearing 2 Duragesic patches at 100mc, which comes to 200mc every 2 days.
I feel like the Dr. makes it too easy for me. He never asks me to check my blood, he has not asked me about taking a med like the suboxone again since I last tried it...nothing! I know I'm in charge of my own body but I can begin to explain how screwed up my life is now. I hate being addicted to these pills.
** Do I have a malpractice against this Dr. for this and if not, why?
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
