HELP PLEASE!! Is There Any Way to Get My Get My Doctor to Take a Serious Approach to Managing My Severe Pain?

Question by Chris C: HELP PLEASE!! Is there any way to get my get my doctor to take a serious approach to managing my severe pain?
I’ve had a severe chronic migraine headache that has lasted for the last 8 months that has been one continuous, unremitting headache, not individual headaches that occur every day. I am disabled as a result of this (something all of my doctors have concurred with) and have tried every single preventative and abortive there is with no success, along with tons of alternatives like acupuncture. To make matters worse, I recently contracted Lyme Disease, which has been adding it’s own painful and debilitating effects.I vomit at least twice a day, and I have hypertension. But I am 15, so this means that often what I say to the doctors is just ignored.The only medication that has actually helped me has been oxycodone and hydromorphone.But when I went to the pain management clinic at Boston Children’s Hospital, I went through a 5 hour process to be told try to exercise and try relaxation.I almost cried.

Question About Wellbutrin?

Question by ann_non_a_miss: Question about Wellbutrin?
I was taking Wellbutrin for a little over a week and I did not notice it working. I was becoming increasingly more depressed to the point I was thinking about suicide. Today I was reading the pamphlet and it mentioned that the drug can cause suicidal thoughts and to stop taking it. Needless to say I am going to discontinue use. My question is, whay would this happen? If the drug is supposed to make depression go away, why would it make mine worse??? Does anyone know a good antidepressants I can try? Preferably one that also relieves anxiety and compulsive urges?

Is All Drug Addiction Bad? What Is Wrong With Being Addicted to Sleeping Pills?

Question by thetigersnameistony: Is all drug addiction bad? What is wrong with being addicted to sleeping pills?
I have been addicted to sleeping pills for a while (probably years.) They are over the counter. I take them only at night to sleep…it’s not like they are disturbing my life in any way.

I actually don’t know if I am addicted because I have not tried to fall asleep without them and once recently I actually fell asleep without them and slept through the night. I just love the sleep I get using them and hate “trying” to fall asleep. I could sit up all night easily without them. With them I just fall into sleep and I love that.

Can Someone Please Tell Me How to Find Addiction Treatment Centers in Rohnert Park, California?

Question by aisha t: Can someone please tell me how to find addiction treatment centers in Rohnert Park, California?
This is for my brother. We’ve only just moved here at the beginning of the month, and he’s gotten himself into bad company already. They influenced him into taking drugs, and now he’s so much different from the way he was before. Sometimes I look at him and I wonder whether he’s the same brother that I used to climb trees with, the brother who used to help me with my homework. Last night, we got into a fight, and though he hurt me, it also made me realize that even though he’s a drug addict now, he’s still my brother, and I would do anything to get him to go back to the way he once was. Please help.
