In reply to Cast On arm not on illigal substances, posted by Phillipa on April 14, 2006, at 16:33:03
> I fell jogging last night and broke my arm. It's in a cast so I can't type. The ER gave me vicodin for pain and I'm afraid tp fill it or take it. my pdod gave me a form to fill out on drug use. cocaine,heroine,meth, alchohol, etc.
Well -- I can't tell you what to do but I wouldn't fill out such a form since you said you've never abused medications. Its really to cover his *ss and his DEA license more than anything to do with you.
I cut down on my own on valium his own prescription and he upped it.That's idiosyncratic ??
Thanks Love Phillipa ps ad's do nothing for anxietyFor some they do, but I have found that you either treat the anxiety or the depression, not both -- and I have both. Unless you combine SSRIs with benzodiazepines, for example.
I don't think that 35 years is particularly long to be on a specific benzodiazepine (Valium) that hasn't been out all that much longer than that. And the dose you're taking is miniscule compared to my own, my lord, and the average doses of others that people have taken on here. As I've noted before, and you're nearly one of the cases, there have been people on Librium since it came out without sequelae, and that sounds like you.
Be more affirmative with your doctor about this and point the rationality of this all. Its natural and humane to treat pain when necessary. There's nothing wrong with the Vicodin, its hardly going to cause any respiratory depression with 10mg of Valium.
Cheers and to a good recovery-- Jay
