Looking for a doctor in the portland area.  Been on pain meds for over two years.  Have had unexplained chronic pain for a few years now,  Only thing doctors have come up with is FM.   Which I dont think is true.  Want to live my life with my kids pain free.  on limited income so the right doctor is a must.

 
This isn't a terribly original or creative suggestion, but have you looked into eClinic MD's network? They have a thread in the F2F section, and might have an "understanding" physician in your area.

 
thanks Jewy

going to look into it.  Having a bad spell the last week, everytime i have a spell like this I start looking for a good doctor, then it gets better for a while and I think I can manage.  Ever since star went down, been trying to manage on what I get a month which is about two days worth of pk, if I was to use them around that clock.   Enough to get me by when I have to be active.   The Mexican section is to expensive for me.  This might be the ticket.

 
Has anybody got info on the urgent care clinics and there view on benzos? I have a diagnosis for panic disorder among other things but the clinic I'm being seen at has a no narcotics policy so I can't get any xanax which has been the only effective medication so far.

I've recently been prescribed 2 scripts from an urgent care clinic. Both for Cl0naz3pam. The first prescriber was LPN, who wrote for 30, 2 mg 2x daily. Not much. Suggested I find mental health clinic, which I'm on. When that one ran out (way after it should have at the 2.x2 dose, the second doc was M.D, who felt a lecture on benzos and the efficacy of SSRIs was in order. I wanted to shout, but kept my cool as he wrote for another 30, at 1/2 to 1 mg up to 3x daily. 

My take is this: they'll help in the short run, but in the end they're not gonna sustain your need for ongoing med management, Finallly I went to my PCP who once said I "would never give you kpin" but after a brief, honest discussion she said she'd prescribe until I got into the mental health system, which is literally 2 months out. Good enough because I'm not doing well lately. Been off benzos for a couple of years, but with this diagnosis, as you prob know, life can feel like a roller coaster at times.

X@n@X is also the most effective med in my case, but it's disliked by nearly every prescriber except psychiatrists, afaik. They always want to go with the Kpins. Maybe a more assertive role is needed in my case. IDK. I can't PM, but feel free to hit me back if I missed any pertinent questions.

  2. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I just wish the opioid epidemic never happened. Fk the turn of the century (which would be cool no doubt)! Many of my friends and family would’ve ended up in asylums like so many others. I just wish I could get back all those I’ve lost since the start
  3. L @ Layne_Cobain: 1914 I meant
  4. L @ Layne_Cobain: I often wish I lived during the turn of the century or at least before the Harrison narcotics act or whatever I think it was 1924 the fun ended but anyway yeh being able to get laudanum, ❄️ and amphetamine at the local friendly pharmacy
  5. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Chew on the leaves with a bit of slaked lime and enjoy the mild boost you get from the raw base.
  6. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I’m sure you know the folks in the mountainous regions along South Americas pacific side buy cócà leaves at the local farmers market just to help acclimate to the higher elevation when they have to head up into the hills.
  7. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I would certainly have bought it, swilled it, enjoyed it…. Why not? A little boost in your juice isn’t going to hurt anyone.
  8. R @ Royboy99: Exports were reported to have around 7.2mg per FL OZ, it’s success is what actually led to Coca Cola
  9. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Having cramps and husband thinks you’re acting hysterical (ie. PMS) the doc would either perform a certain massage to relieve the strains of motherhood and family life of that time or send you down to the local apothecary for a bottle of laudanum… A tincture of alcohol and 10% òpìųm. Fun days huh?
  10. R @ Royboy99: @malestrom: yeah thats it, my bad Mariani, yeah i considered that and also its ROA, which was oral so the bioavailability was lower than insufflation, higher degree of purity tho and longer duration … there was a significant marked increase of patents filed by Edison during the time it was released in the US. Presidents were known to use it as well, and the Queen. The pope awarded the wine the Vatican gold medal award
  11. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I think it was called vin Mariani. But yeah, it was all the rave back in the turn to the 20th century. Original formula Coca Cola did it for a while too. I think it was pretty weak though. Something like 200 mg per liter of wine. Enough to maybe give you a little push but unless you could pound some serious alcohol, it’d be hard to really feel the effects before the ethyl knocked you down on the ground. It was an interesting time period. Laudanum was a “hysterical” woman’s best friend.
  12. R @ Royboy99: Maybe it’s the admixture of my South American dna that works so well with it ? 🤷
  13. R @ Royboy99: It’s all evident in memory recall, my emails, meetings, … people invest everything they have in a nootropic that provides this… desperately searching without success and it’s right there right under their nose (no pun) … stigmatized by society and outlawed.
  14. R @ Royboy99: Now I’m not foolish or delusional to think that it made Edison who he was … it just allowed him to Edison to Edison to a greater degree … and I see it doing that for me and others who use it as a productive tool and not a substance of abuse.. you can look at this data with the level of patents filed by Edison during that time … comparable to Barry bonds or McGuire breaking records while they were subtly enhanced
  15. R @ Royboy99: One could argue that we would not have motion pictures if it wasn’t for ❄️
  16. R @ Royboy99: I also take month long breaks and replace with Ritalin for receptor recovery
  17. R @ Royboy99: And while it may sound insane and completely destructive … small microdoses of ❄️ has really transformed me. I did extensive research on its use by Edison, the pope at the time, and many others who got great benefit from a wine concoction called vin Mariani … this subtle enhancement changed the world and as long its used with a high degree of control, it’s amazing. you may think I’m crazy … but I’m just being as transparent as I can
  18. R @ Royboy99: I’ve grown to realize that my time is finite and Im only getting older… I’m back to relying on small PRN doses of FDA trialed BZDs and it’s made tremendous improvements to my quality of life. I just need to get out there more and meet someone new, it’s the only piece that’s missing since I’ve managed to get it together
  19. R @ Royboy99: @LatsDoodis: thanks brother … I’ve spent months trying to put myself in uncomfortable places to grow stronger. Hours of research, thousands on supplements, therapy etc …
  20. LatsDoodis @ LatsDoodis: @Royboy99 You’re not yet lost. Cut them losses and do what you don’t want to do. Take the boring, shameful, nerve racking way out. It’s the only road back to balance. When you’re ready, you’ll do it. Hit me up if you want support quitting. This ain’t worth your life!
