X> VALIDATE YOUR PAIN ! Exposing the Chronic Pain Cover-Up ( Paperback - May 2002 ) ... by Alan F. Chino, Ph.D. and Corinne D. Davis, M.D. Below are a few excerpts from this book - regarding pseudoaddiction.....

HAVE YOU BEEN TREATED LIKE AN ADDICT?

Page 106:

" Pseudoaddiction is an iatrogenic (i.e., doctor-induced) syndrome caused by undermedication of pain."

Page 107:

" This syndrome is called pseudoaddiction because of the striking resemblance of the behavior pattern to that of truly addicted individuals..."

" The difference is that, in the case of pseudoaddiction, the person is driven by a need and desire for genuine pain relief."

"...pseudoaddiction results from undertreatment of a medical condition."

" Patients like Joe suffer from severe pain and no one believes them! They are treated like third-class citizens. They are condemned by their families, the medical establishment, our "watchdog" state and federal agencies, and society at large. They are unfairly mislabeled as addicts."

"...many a chronic pain patient has been harmed emotionally and physically by the inappropriate use of "12-step" techniques (Alcoholics Anonymous) for the treatment of pseudoaddiction."
