i think that its his decision to make, i know how it feels and the anger that comes with the precription meds, when i was diagnosed, i chose to not take those meds, out of fear of going back to my doc. i think drug swapping don't work but i do believe that some meds are nessessary but it depends on whether or not they will be taken as prescribed. i keep hearing and believe in, hands off the addict, focus more on you and what you will do for you and your life. jmho
