Went to Pain Management Dr. for first time this am. First of all, had to get up at 630am which is much earlier than normal (usually get up at 830 or 9).
I don't know if the rage that was provoked is still part of the crap withdrawal/discontinuation as it is not normal for me to get so angry.
I had spent a very long time filling out forms over the past 3 days that were necessary to take along when I went. I arrived about 10 minutes early and stood at the window with my drivers license, insurance cards and the dreaded forms.
There was a girl sitting towards the back of the inner room who was busy talking and didn't even acknowledge my presence - just looked at me. I left my stuff at the window and went to sit down. Finally a different female appeared at the window and asked if I was (my name). Since I was the only one in the room and my ID and forms were right in front of her, who the hell did she think I was??
I was then given 3 more forms to sign that she said had to be done there in the office - couldn't have been sent to me. 
Another patient came in after me and was called first. Then another. When they finally called me in, I was handed a bottle and told to pee in it. Perhaps TMI, but I was unable to as I had gone before I left home. I told the one who I already didn't like, that I couldn't do this. She said drink some water and try again - the Dr. won't see you until you do. WTF??
Again, no success and they told me to just sit down and drink water until I could go. I said I was not going to sit there any longer as I had already been there over 45 minutes. The Dr. then appeared and said that I could stay as long as necessary or come back later... 
I said I would not do this and also told her about the treatment when I first arrived and she got that I was not happy. (In fact, I was becoming livid! )
She then said that I wasn't a good fit for her office and she would give me other names for me to check out. I told her that I already had the names of other Dr.s and was leaving. I was furious at this point and slammed the door of the inner office and slammed the door as I left the office. (2 slams!)
I can only attribute this to the rage that I felt only once when off the crap for a couple of months. At this point, I will forget about a Pain Management Dr. and just guts it all out.
Thanks for listening - just had to do that!!
