BUPRENORPHINE vs TRAMADOL

Hi! I am currently spending a lot of time at a store where a large number of patients request white buprenorphine tabs.

I've been to the emergency clinic twice now as directed by my doctor because she doesn't know what to do. I'm awaiting a surgery on my ovary and bowel, I have been taking oxycodone for about a year while waiting. On Wednesday, the doctors decided to change my oxy to buprenorphine patches that the em

Assuming that someone on MMT or ORT (buprenorphine or methadone) is not taking anything unprescribed and is having regular urine tests, do you think they should be allowed to be a Pharmacist in a role handling strong opioids and other controlled substances?

does nobody have that shit nowadays? *nurse calls down and tells me she can't give this guy his meds thru NG because they took it out. "yes he's taking oral meds, but these are ordered NG, how do I give them?".* **put them in his mouth holy shit.** *coworker spends an hour working up pk on a vanco,

I posted the pictures in the comments below. Hello, 41f with lifelong malaise and fatigue. About 10 years ago my hands started swelling and turning red. The red never goes away and now my knees and ankles are also red and mottled. Dermatologist #1 said it was contact irritant dermititis. 2nd derm

This article from the NYC Times talks about how Acadia (largest for-profit psych provider in US) has been billing for fake counseling sessions and improperly enrolling patients. The business puports 1.3 billion in revenue for 2022 for the clinics alone. My question is why don't states require a mini

I'm stressed out y'all. I'm not going to get into why, I'm not up for a political debate. I'm not sure how so many are remaining cool as cucumbers right now but I'm hanging on by a thread. My fibro symptoms were getting so much better when I changed my diet and supplement, and medication regimen in

I was with my mom recently for her pain in the ER and this sign was posted. I just shook my head.

Massive rant incoming: I'm so tired of these doctors, man. I have been on opiates for a few years. They recently switched me from tramadol to percocet a couple months ago and it gave me my life back. Psychiatrist put me on wellbutrin too which has mad a huge impact. I signed up to start a 9 month tr

Hi all! I originally posted this on this community under my old account. Since today, I was told I was a “disservice to the community” for essentially calling into question the efficacy of Tramadol, I’d like to reshare my contributions to the community. For free. Please. Enjoy.

I had an infected molar pulled out today, and an implant put into place. They literally hammered the implant into my jaw. I told the dentist that people with Fibro often aren't helped much by Ibuprofen (what they usually give) so he gave me 50mg of Tramadol. It didn't help enough. Soon after getting

I (33f) have a mobility parking permit. Today some older guy (60s/70s) approached my window and started yelling at me for using one of the mobility parking spaces at the park, he was really aggressive with the way he was yelling that I’m not disabled, that I’m not allowed to be there, people were st

Hello everyone, I feel as if I'm invading this space as I'm not a sufferer of chronic pain myself, but I have intimate knowledge of the damage it can cause and wanted to tell my wife's story with it and how much I feel for any of you that are in chronic pain. My wife began suffering from intractable

Here is my experience going to a pain doctor for the first time. Spoiler alert: I completely regret going at all, it was my choice to go because I was so hopeful I would get help. ​ * Arrogant and uncaring attitude from the first appointment. I never, not once felt he gave a damn about
