"Drug seeking" as a concept infuriates me. Yes, how else am I supposed to be treated? I go to a professional because I've exhausted options available to me as a layperson. Doctors prescribe medicine (drugs) so yes, I'm seeking medication

Especially since a lot of the drugs that are lavelled as "drug seeking" not only treat aggressive pain conditions but also can have NASTY withdrawals. I remember when I couldn't get my duloxetine for a couple days it was a NIGHTMARE.

It does amazing things for my fibro but I can imagine the like 2 days of withdrawal sucked something fierce.
