Children Deserve Pain Treatment Too

July 4, 2012 by admin Leave a Comment

I hope that people recognize the tongue-in-cheek nature of the title. After working as a physician in various roles over a period of 20 years, I can state with absolute confidence that the answer to the question is ‘yes’. I’ve written numerous times about the writer/activist for the Salem-News.com web site, Marianne Skolek. I don’t … [Read more…]

The Downside of Methadone

January 28, 2012 by admin

An Article by Mike Berens and Ken Armstrong, Seattle Times, discusses some of the problems with using methadone as a first-line treatment for pain: When it comes to battling pain, Washington health officials have encouraged doctors to reach for methadone, a powerful and inexpensive prescription drug. For the past decade, the state has declared methadone … [Read more…]

Suboxone, depression, anxiety, and pain

October 17, 2008 by admin 22 Comments

A question about Suboxone and mood: I came across your website while looking for answers to Suboxone. I was wondering what you thought of a patient being prescribed Suboxone for depression and anxiety disorder? I have tried almost every antidepressant you can think of. I have also tried lithium and depakote because my doctor (at … [Read more…]

I am moving the post below from the comments section to here because many readers will benefit from the information.  As a doctor treating chronic pain I can attest to the problems and challenges from all angles.  I worry about leaving patients in pain– but at the same time I know that for long-term pain, … [Read more…]

Chronic Pain and Addiction

October 4, 2008 by admin Leave a Comment

The interface between chronic pain and addiction is very complex.  Pain becomes worse the harder one looks at it, and taking narcotics tends to draw attention to the pain… so as a broad generalization patients don’t do as well on pain meds as off.  At the same time, patients will claim that is not true, … [Read more…]

Suboxone and Anesthesia; Suboxone vs. 'Recovery'

September 20, 2008 by admin 1 Comment

Yes, I have changed blog platforms again… hopefully for the last time! I spent the past few days learning to use the self-hosted WordPress platform.

Striking a nerve with Methadone

August 3, 2008 by admin Leave a Comment

Wow. I have heard others talk about methadone zealots ‘out there’ who get very emotional about the drug– I figured the people that described them as a bit crazy were exaggerating… I went ahead and approved a couple of the replies to my last post so that people can judge for themselves.

A Reply to Chronic Pain:

July 19, 2008 by admin Leave a Comment

I feel that I have a good understanding of suboxone…. With the exception of the pain issue. The reason for my lack of confidence in that area is because first, I have seen less-consistent results in pain patients, and second, some of the claims made by patients just don’t make sense! Suboxone has several characteristics … [Read more…]
