maybe you can talk to your doctor or whoever prescribed the medecine.
but really, you love alcohool so much? by advice is that ou stay a while on those medecines, try not drinking at all for a while until you get use to this and when the doctor says it;s ok to stop taking the medecines, then you might pe able to have a drink or two a week with your friends.
i think it's best to do as the doctor said for now and don't drink...

I am a pain patient and when refered to a pain doctor and he asked if i was still addicted to drugs and alchol. I felt raped. I have never had any specialist or therapist write that in my file, My family and friends can voach for me and when i was asked this by the pain doctor I felt extremely embarrased and dont want to go back until my family doctor issues an apolgy and corrects his letter
No. Any doctor who regularly prescribes pain medication to patients has a responsibility to himself and to the patient to ask pointed questions like this. Your doctor is under strict regulation by the FDA for his prescriptions. He is looking out for your welfare, and his own, by inquiring about your drug and alcohol history. If he did not ask you these questions, he would be negligent in his duties towards you as a patient.
If you really think that your doctor has no right to ask you about your drug and alcohol history then you are kidding yourself. Even if you feel your doctor was rude or accusing, well, that's simply too bad. If you feel that horribly embarrassed, then you should switch doctors.
I'm sorry you feel so "violated" by his asking you about your drug and alcohol addiction history that you liken it to rape. I hope you realize that you cheapen the feelings and emotions of women and men who have actually had that experience by saying your doctor "raped" you when he asked about your addiction history.
Grow up.
My best friend is an alcoholic. I accompanied him to a alcohol rehab last Wednesday because I finally convinced him to get some help. The doctor and the counselor said that he has to undergo a detoxification first. What is detoxification? Is it really necessary? My best friend is asking me these questions and I don't know what to answer.
Yes, it is very important. See, detoxification is the removal of all that excess alcohol in the body. It really is the first step to recovery. Your friend has to clean his body and remove all of the filth that caused his alcoholism. A clean body complements a clear mind. Detoxification will help your friend become sober.

my husband needs help with his drinking as well as other problems in his life. we dont know what kind of doctor to see
A psychologist would be more appropriate than a psychiatrist. They are more into treatment of the problem, working through goals, and posiibly connecting you with support groups, psychiatrists are more into prescribing drugs.

mommyofanangel06, Alcohol addiction can be very serious. Many everyday people have lost jobs, family, friends, and loved ones simply because they could not tame thier alcohol habits. I recommend you seek some help. Here is a site that has addiction information and a directory of addiction treatment centers so you can help. http://www.addictionselfhelp.com

bAddiction/b specialist bDr/b. Drew says pain medications likely reawoke b.../b
“It very slowly and subtly reawakens addiction,” Pinsky said of pain medication in an interview Saturday. “I’m not saying it was inappropriately prescribed, I’m saying he didn’t know the risks.”
DJ AM, whose real name was Adam Goldstein, was found dead in his apartment Friday evening. A crack pipe and prescription pills were found in the Manhattan apartment, said a law enforcement official, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing.
Goldstein was 36 years old.
Pinsky is the host of VH1’s “Celebrity Rehab,” where he helps troubled stars get off of drugs and alcohol.
Pinsky said he believed pain medication Goldstein took for injuries sustained in the plane crash that required two skin graft surgeries reawakened his addiction to drugs. Goldstein had long preached sobriety and openly discussed his earlier addictions to drugs including crack cocaine and Ecstasy.
