The pushing of narcotics over past years lent to it also. This led to the current knee jerk attitude and atmosphere of thinking all opioids are bad. That they are not to be used for chronic pain. You’ll get addicted.
Years back I had a severe problem. Long story. Difficult to diagnose. I was labeled the overreacting patient (female).
Well, I was right and if my internist had not been willing to prescribe slow release Morphine and hydrocodone (I can’t handle oxy) until I got the right diagnosis and surgery, I seriously doubt I would still be here.

People and their medical issues are so individualized. The approach they are taking is wrong. To deny someone an anti-Anxiety or opiate medication because of history of others in the past which occurred because of physician mismanagement is wrong.
I am so happy I found a clinic who actually listens to me and works with me with medication management. I am glad you found a good internist. Was very fortunate for you. I had two providers I’d interviewed and they blatantly refused to keep me on Clonazepam and insisted I taper off. I am still suffering the results of that traumatic experience but hope to do much better either way my new provider.
