I'm in a whole lot of trouble here on the Prairies.
My best friend and I moved to Manitoba from Toronto 3 years ago.
We came here because we wanted to start a new life, a clean life.
He was on Methadone for 12 years and I was on it for 15 years. I thought he was fine because he was on Suboxone for the first 6 months we were here. I was still on Meth too at a very high dose (170)..I've managed to come down to 80mgs.
When his Suboxone he ran out I found myself having to watch his every move because yesterday I caught him putting a bottle back in my drawer.I was PISSED!
That was last week,,so we've decided he'd come with me to see my Dr on the 28th of November, he wants to go back on Meth at a very low dosage and I agree with him because he's SO depressed without it, he just lays in bed and talks about nothing positive, he mopes around..you get the picture.
Here's my problem, when his Sub ran out I would give him a tiny tiny bit (5mgs). I know that's against the rules so I've decided to suspend all my carries until he's stabilized.
I want to be pro-active with my Dr, I want to go to him with my situation as opposed to him finding out and suspending my carries indefinitely.
If I step up and take responsibility by being honest do you think he'd punish me?
Probably, because your not suppose to give your Meth to ANYONE.
We've lived together for 22 years, I can't bear to see him so desperate for drugs and I can't help him anymore.
The only rational idea is to speak the truth and let the chips fall where they may.
Ouch....hard situation. ..I don't know. ..personally. ..might be unwise to mention your giving your dose out...you know how that will go...get him back on his own dose would be my suggestion. ..if it's only a week or so...you can probably ride it out...any methadone or subs on the street out there ? I know not a great answer...but for short time...might help ?
do not say anything toy our doctor please, I am thinking it wont go down nicely if he learns tre truth as methadone is controlled drugs and not some I dont know blood pressure pills. I know people losing script for much less. I get that you want to be honest but i wouldnt recommended
Are you two attending NA meetings in Manitoba?
What program of recovery are you working?
What city/town are you in?
It sounds like the geographical cure isn't working ....
I'm near Windsor, ON.
All the best.

No I don't think telling your doctor would be a good thing. You should keep quiet IMO. How are things today ? I wish you the best.
