Flaming/Flame Wars
Flaming is reacting to someone's board posting or PM in a hostile manner by publicly chastising the person or bombarding the person with nasty posts or PM's. Flaming may occur to users that engage in behavior that violates what is considered proper board netiquette. A flame war occurs when two or more users flame each other in an escalating manner that threatens to continue unabated. If you notice a flame war developing just notify the moderator or adminitrator and let them handle it. Do not take part in flame wars. If you do you will be banned even if you did not start it :-)

Yes, knowledge IS power. However, as we all know... there is AT LEAST a 70% chance that when confronting any doctor and showing a knowledge of the meds your on will raise suscpisions. I had the same issue. I finally had to argue with the doc and basically said, "look.. I'm putting this in my body, therefore I have EVERY right to research what I put into my system. So by protecting myself with a little knowledge of my meds does that make me an abuser, NO!"
Needless to say, the doc did not agree, lol. Best advice I can give is yes, be honest, but at the same time, be vague. And yes, the pharm. has the right to question anything coming across their desk. But on the same hand, they do have a tendency to get a power trip. If your doc is cool with what he scripts out for you and your insurance will continue to pay then switch pharmacies. Go to a completely different pharm. and you should be ok. As for your conversation with your dr., be honest, vague and all you can do is pray for a sympathetic ear.
