in school we are simply told DONT DO DRUGS, and it ends there. I think itd be more effective, as far as educating a person about drugs, to assume the DONT DO DRUGS part is a givin and educate on long term effects from long term useage.

Let me say; seeing you cry when talking about your patients gives me a teensy little bit of hope for humanity. I was born with a sub-pulmonary ventricular septal defect at birth which has literally never been anything more than a doctor visit every year, and antibiotics before the dentist... apparently an infection could and probably would be fatal, quick. The meth didn't start til the year my pediatric cardiologist transferred my care, and put me on every 5 year visits, which wound up not happening til I felt like I was dying, at 9 years. Just to briefly list a few of the thousands of symptoms... sudden onset tachycardia, yellow skin sludges... idk what to call skin that looks like it's been dyed yellow.. tingling arms/legs, sleep went from 1-2 hours per day to 18+ with increased meth usage... little purple spots on the tips of my fingers... a million more, but basically, dude needs to look at my heart.. So I go to the adult cardio guy, right? He's clearly autistic af like the rest of yall doctors (it's k me too) but he's rude! And I have never felt so... empty. I prepared myself for a terrible visit-but what I didn't expect was for him to dismiss me and tell me I'm fine, my heart is fine, and meth is my problem without even touching his stethoscope. My old doctor appointments apparently were way cutting edge, but it seems to me like the entire purpose of the appointment should have been the echo. Like what? Here I am a few months later, I've had several episodes where I legitimately worry I'm dying-and actually harbor view has come up on my radar. I stopped taking all calls from billing ppl and medical ppl a year or so ago but you've got me reconsidering because I know you are capable of seeing that 'meth'isnt the answer that's going to help anyone.

I love that this was made publicly available! However, I believe you're mistaken about getting to "know'" a patient's story. IF you have justification to invest yourself in bodily recommendations, then you certainly already have the insight and vulnerability of your patients who I guarantee you, will be wanting your empathy, but won't be asking for it. Verbalize your concerns through your offerings and not your suggestions to respect patient autonomy which SHOULD be upheld, but also with therapeutic pharmacology. You said it yourself. the studies are too unreliable, but there are still plenty of sources to further this research field which might even be a more cost-effective solution or easier to sell as a product to patients wanting change in their lives.. - Just an opinion. ( I warrant myself no qualifications)

If a doctor will give you Bontril XR 105mg PO QAM, to keep your weight down to save your joints from severe arthritis, then he retires, where does a person turn? Many doctors are against stimulants.

It's always very strange to me when academic/scientific sources of information on drugs use the term methamphetamineS
