So wife has been kinda worryt because she has been getting weird cramping spasms in her left hand. I told her it's prolly something simple like carpal tunnel or something but if it's worrying her she should go have it checked out. Long story short, the Dr didn't even diagnose it. Just told her it'd clear up and wrote her 3 scripts of 90 7.5 Percocet.

I'm like wut the fugg? I mean, I take 4 yeller Norco per day, but both my knees look like a game of tic-tac-toe due to multiple surgeries. Plus I went through all sorts of testing and red tape before they put me on them. This dude just jotted down 3 90ct scripts of Percocet for some hand cramps? I bet he has all kindsa mofo's strung out on pain killers. I thought that was pretty fuggt up. What say y'all?

PS: Sorry so long, jess wanted to give y'all a clear picture

He makes more money by prescribing that, and he knows you’ll most likely come back due to him filling out that script. People forget they’re salesman, but they don’t realize or care what will happen to you.

Lots of offices, especially in the more rural areas, seem to just give people the drugs they want if they claim any kind of pain. We briefly lived in a very rural area of Blount county and it took me multiple stops to find someone that would see me when I had strep because every doc up there had a line of pain based patients waiting in the lobby. When I finally found a doctor there he basically said he wouldn't accept any patients with claims of chronic pain b/c he didn't want to play the game. It was always shocking driving through town and seeing 2 offices just packed with people that probably waited hours upon hours to see someone and then his office with 2 cars in the lot and nobody in the waiting room.

Worked for me though. He was easy to see.

My brother-in-law just closed his practice to new customers and doesn't take pain clients anymore. He is a general physician and after the third time he called by the board or whoever is responsible for them he just quit. He fired all of his pain clients and stopped taking new patients.

Yep. I used to have a doc who ran a ‘Weight Loss and Pain Management’ Clinic. He prescribed me 90 mg of adderall per day with no questions asked.

Don’t do it. It’s basically pharmaceutical meth if you don’t have ADHD and it’s 99% likely you don’t. I got hooked on it in college and ended up spending a stint in rehab over it.

I got a buddy/ex-client from Houma that is ADHD that came up here to do some kind of hunting several years back. His wife called me and told me DO NOT LET HIM COME BACK UNTIL HE GETS THESE MEDS. She tried to mail them to me over state lines & I told her I wouldn't sign for them, and she started crying. Real sweet girl too. I think we got a truck driver to bring them up here. I know people that have been crushed over this drug, but it does serve a purpose.
His cousin popped one & insisted I take one. Put in my desk & gave it to one of my best freinds. He got drunk one Saturday night, found it & popped it. He couldn't even work Monday morning. Said he cursed my name for 48 hours.

That was long, but just wanted to give both sides...

My roommate in college was on Ritalin. Not sure if thats the same. I knew him since we were 5 and he was horrifically hyper ADHD.

He was so psychotic that first year that I considered getting a job to pay my parents the sublease half of my rent. We were joking around in front of friends and he came at me like he was going to stab me in the eye with a knife and pulled back, laughing and staring with a "haha only kidding" crazy eyes stare.

Only ended up living with him 3 more years. Had to clean his computer up 3 times because he downloaded Adult Friend Finder and it infected his computer on 3 separate occasions.

That medicine for real made him legit in school though.

Yeah it’s necessary for some folks. My brother is one, but 80% of the folks I know who take it don’t need it. And that’s probably a conservative estimate.

In a previous thread I mentioned being retired military. I have had broken bones and been given Motrin in the military. We even affectionately called it "Vitamin M". Vitamin M becomes "Vitamin N" when you reach 40. (Naprosin) It doesnt mattter what is wrong with you, this is what they seem to prescribe. "We sewed your arm back on, here is some 800 mg Motrin. Dont take it on an empty stomach. You can go back to work tomorrow." They were reluctant to ever give you narcotics.
When I was a junior officer, I had a collateral duty with another officer of monthly inventorying of controlled medicine on the ship. There was a bunch.. We also had to witness when they destroyed expired Narcs. They were onboard, they just werent issuing them.
A couple of months after retiring I bruised my ribs... here is some NORCO. Couple of months later, I cut a finger and needed stitches. Here is some Vicodin. I was shocked at how easy civilian Dr's prescribed Narcotics.

Sounds like you need to post address for said doc so I can get this pinky toe cramp taken care of. It’s killing me, yo.

Bruh, 90mg of adderall would put you into a comatose. Legally, the highest dose is 80mg and that’s reserved for narcolepsy patients. The highest legal dosage for adult ADHD patients is 60mg. That being said, I’m not doubting what you say because I don’t know your issues and there are certainly some dumbass doctors out there that will write a script for anything, laws be damned. There’s a psych doc here in Auburn that hands that shit out like candy at a Mardi Gras parade. I’ve had to use him before and likely will again soon. He always tries to give me a 30mg 90/day script and I have to talk him down to 20mg. I’d be a real life zombie on 30mg. That stuff is no joke.

me and @Gran_Polla are both Marines. We know your plight. “Here’s some Motrin, drink water and change your socks. That missing arm and hole through your chest should heal right up. Just don’t pass out because we’ll have to give you the silver bullet to make sure you’re not a heat case.”

Reminds me of my trips to Butler, AL as a late teen to get a scrip of Xanax bars. Good times.

Not proud of it, but I was taking in excess of 150 mg every day before I got clean. I’d take 60 mg as soon as I woke up every morning if I even went to sleep at all.

I never felt hyper but just lethargic and couldn’t concentrate so I got a script but I only got it last year at 29. SJ knows me and my family and how square we are (sometimes embarrassingly walking straight haha) but I really felt like I needed something. Probably needed it in college. I’m up to 25mg but honestly I don’t feel it. I probably need more but I use to work in a drug court and have seen what it can do to ppl so I stopped taking it. It didn’t really help me honestly. I barely felt it.
But I agree those doctors that write scripts like it’s candy are just as much a problem in our country (probably worse) as those guys on the street.

Had a doctor in auburn give me 120 2mg Xanax and 90 20mg adderall a month in auburn. Let’s just say, I never had to work. Looking back on it, he should be in jail. If i wasn’t smart not to abuse them, I’d be a drug addict. I won’t use any pills or medicine unless I’m sick, and even then I get off ASAP. Pharmaceuticals are no ones friend.

Yeah I know two folks at this very moment who graduated to meth because the well ran dry on adderall. Habit got too expensive and meth is supposedly cheap AF. One is in rehab currently and the other is shooting meth in his fuggin arms. It’s a damn miracle it never happened to me.

The problem that I've seen is that people think adderall and the like is to cure hyperness. Physical hyperness. It's not. What it's for is to calm hyper mental activity. I need it badly. All too often, I'll be involved in a conversation where I'll listen and eventually say something so off the wall that the others in the conversation are genuinely perplexed. Basically, they'll say something that sparks a thought in me and then my mind races in 20 different directions all at once until I come up with whatever it is that I want to say. And it's incredibly tiresome. When I was in the Marine Corps, my WO liked to play a game called 7 degrees to why @BigtimeAub said that (spinoff of the 7 degrees to Kevin Bacon). ADD and ADHD is all about the brain, the ability to mentally focus on a task. It has absolutely zero to do with one's physical hyper activity. However, docs and shrinks have changed the rules over the years to fit physical hyper activity into the discussion as a way to help lazy adults control their children and for adults with zero self accountability to control themselves. Mental fogs, racing thoughts, things like that, that's what these types of drugs are for. And they work wonders for those who truly need it.

120 2mg Xanax would be a script for four bars a day. That sounds made up
