holding doctors accountable
I am very annoyed with other pain clinics in the area who are very lax on their prescription habits, e.g. very high MEDs (high doses of roxies, dilaudid, opana, fentanyl, methadone etc.) in a non-cancer pain setting and commonly without profound severe pathology of non-CA origin, and with other risky medications combinations (xanax, ambien, soma, etc.). Also, over and over I have noticed some of this patients to have very busy PMP (ER visits, different pharmacies, date overlaps),...

Depression CF related
Hi. Just wondering how many of you or your loved ones with CF suffer from any form of depression. Years ago, I was prescribed Paxil by my CF Clinic doctor after breaking down in tears during one of my early visits. Later after seeing a mental health professional, I was described Adderall, after they diagnosed me as being ADD. They also gave me Xanax to sleep, and I was on this roller coaster of ups and downs for years, until I quit everything on my own. I still suffer from bouts of depression and it obviously affects my willingness to adhere to treatments and take car of myself, in general.
Any, Do you any of you suffer a...

Is it illegal to reuse an "outdated" prescription?
So for the past year I've gone through trial and errors with my doctors trying out different prescription (ie. Paxi, Prozac, Klonopin, Xanax, etc.). About 8 months ago I asked my doctor to switch me from Klonopin back to Xanax (something I had taken previously) because I figured that worked better. I still have my Klonopin prescription bottle with some pills in it, if I were to finish off that bottle, would that be illegal? It still has about 10 pills in it, so it'd take me about 5 months to use it all up. (Source: Cystic Fibrosis Nutrition Forum)

Is having CF a good enough reason to get a Medical Marijuana Card?
So because I have CF, is that a good enough reason for a doctor to get me a MM Card?
Ive done a lot of study about this subject. And I believe an MM Card will benefit me greatly because I have CF. It will help me eat more, as well as help with other issues. I am at a good weight. But I can't eat nearly enough calories the CF doctors say I should be eating. They say I should be eating 4,000 calories a day if I'm working out, and 3,000 calories a day if I'm sedentary. I can't at all eat nearly that much! Like today I ate a ton of food, and I found out that I only ate 2400 calories today. Right now, I'm so full and earlier ...
