Seeing a psychiatrist for meds

[Requiem]

In the uk we don't have sub drs. But psychiatrists can prescribe addiction drugs. Thus I'm thinking seeing a shrink would be good for my wanting to stop using opiates but control my spinal pain still. Has any in the uk seen a private shrink b4?

Totally different here in the US. But honestly seeing a psychiatrist makes total sense being addiction is considered a medical condition. Which only leads one to believe it's mental condition more than anything.

I've come to the conclusion that here in the U.S. It's a lost cause to see doctors even with proof of pain and in my case PTSD which causes me severe anxiety. I'm thankful now more than ever for this forum!

@US Army Veteran hooah, fellow Soldier...I am a fellow Army Vet myself here in Pensacola. I am using the choice program too see a private doc for my monthly subs and also get ambien 12.5mg thru the VA. Any help with a good US to US Klons provider, tired of losing $$$$ with all these fake onlines and the ones that are dependable take forever and never receive a tracking number. I appreciate your consideration. Happy Pre- Veterans Day !!!

Hey man sorry to hear your situation. I am personally in a sub program myself here in the US. I understand the need to wanting to abstain from opiods, but speaking from experience if you're trying to manage pain I would not use subs. They are not good for pain imho and opiods won't work anymore due to buprenorphines insanely high affinity for the opiate receptor. You may want to try methadone if it's possible but I would just use it temporarily as methadone is horrible and the withdrawal is long and brutal.  Good luck man

Does anyone know if you see a psychiatrist for ADHD or ADD and you have never been diagnosed as a child will they prescribe medicine? I don’t really want to waste money if I can’t get something I want. I feel the medicine helps me gives me energy and I want to live life happy!! Idk what to do. I need a prescription because I get random drug tested at my job! Bummer!!! 

Thanks for any advice.
