Chronic pain people that fall through the cracks!

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

Mine only gives the buprenorphine with naloxone.
I have tried going long enough to try the strip, but it’s REALLY IMPAIRING (!!) and I will not be free of opiates long enough to survive getting started with it.
And.
Once I did quit opiates long enough to get started, I would be WASTED on buprenorphine and unable to function.
Then I would be told to KEEP TAKING IT AND I will not likely ever have FEELINGS again, and I won’t likely have ANY HELP getting OFF the buprenorphine that is politically correct and medically absurd. Our country is completely stupid. And dumber every day.
California is spending a ton of time and money arguing about paper or plastic…
Why not TREATING CHRONIC PAIN PATIENTS CURRENTLY IN EXTREME DISCOMFORT?
(Just blowing off steam. I’m not literally this crazy. I AM literally outraged that we are not even accessing poppy plants anymore?!)
But booze is flowing…
