My pdoc who is 100 miles away INSISTS I have a local pdoc to work with him in case of any serious/sudden mood changes. After getting over the rejection, I see his point. My quandary is this: my present pdoc knows I take hydrocodone- while he is fairly supportive of the concept, I am self-medicating for anxiety and possibly depression (and it works), the amount I am taking bothers him. I want to add that when manic I stop with no problems. I am concerned that this local pdoc will insist I get substance abuse treatment if I am truthful, but I am a poor liar. I am being compliant with prescribed meds and appts. because I feel lousy. Has anyone felt that they were using a med that had abusive properties and withheld that info? I am not in denial here. Thanks for the input- Judy
