Then why did you write this? Is there a problem with acknowledging that there may be some validity in other people's recommendations and suggestions?

Again...Your doctor can only work according to what you tell her. If you're not honest about your pain, then she will either continue or discontinue your medication, based entirely upon what you tell her. It's all up to you, and has very little to do with your Dr.'s expertise. Most people here are likely to know much more about addictions and addictive behaviors than you're doctor, with the possible exception that she specializes in addiction medicine. I don't know why it's so difficult for you to accept any of this.

It may be surprising to you that your triggers are active, but I don't know that it is for anyone else reading your comments.
