Thanks for responding, unfortunately once a doctor puts that in your record it’s over, no other doctor even wants to talk to you about any oral pain medication. I have been very tempted to get some relief from the streets, and that scares me. Luckily I have no clue to even do that. And it bothers me that there is no one you can complain to or to give me the benefit of the doubt.

Thanks again.

I would add that my pain clinic has stopped all opioid prescriptions save for buprenorphine.
The reason is two fold number one being the "Fed's" approve it more so than others and second, it has an excellent safety profile. It is very hard to overdose on bupe.
My doctor does have a heart and gave all the patients amble time to wean down or switch to bupe if they wanted to. I believe 60 days
I am not sure one can lump in all doctors. My Doctor has great compassion and really cared about patient suffering. It was also true that most of the patients stuck with the correct dose etc but I am sure there were some who were predisposed to addiction.
Lucky to have him
