MD - he got the patches yesterday. He had (I think) 10mg and 50mg...so he put a 50mg one on. He was pretty out there...not as bad as on Oxycontin but still pretty fried. He slept really badly though...kept waking and wasn't tired. Then this morning he took it off and the come down was pretty bad. I had to drive him to the hospital to pick up some Ensure and he wsa struggling not to throw up the whole time...had the junkie itches as well

He thinks they;re trying to get him hooked so he'll do what they want him to do...which makes him even more determind to stick with the weed and leave the pharma drugs alone.

I have to say actually going into the hospital with him made it all a lot realer (is that a word?!). Crazy thing is he still looks so healthy...when he picked up the Ensure the girl asked him where Graham was and when he said he was Graham she looked shocked and said sorry. He laughed and said it happens all the time!
