it amazes me how they are trying to cover their a*s now. The government basically said screw pain patients and a lot of ppl suffered and unfortunately took their own life. Now they want to say taper off it's a little late. The government alphabet mafia needs to allow patients and doctors to determine what is best for them. Just an interesting fact prescription for ALL/ANY opiate decreased by 49%. Imagine what the actual number is of ppl suffering !! It's way passed time that chronic pain patients ban together and sue ALL ppl involved in this. That will include the government alphabet mafia, the representatives that voted for this, the addicts families who rushed for this, saying that legal opiate caused the heroine OD and won, etc. I feel for those families, but at the same time, no doctors prescribed heroine. I am tired of fighting for the little relief I get and walking through fire just to get it.

It's getting harder and harder to get a doctor to prescribe opioids anymore and then if you do, it's nearly impossible to find a pharmacy to fill them because the DEA is threatening them all!! This needs to stop! Many people actually need these meds and have never abused them. It's like they want us all to get desperate enough to turn to the streets and die smh. I've been on meds for 15-20 years and I've had them reduced twice in 2 years. But now I'm having a hell of a time getting them filled anywhere! It's not right that they're making people suffer like this instead of going after the real problem, the cartels!! The Doctor Patient Forum group and Claudia Marandi are trying to fight back but we need everyone to get involved.
