Yes, I can sympathize. I live in PA. and had to sign an agreement for a small dosage of Tramadol, 50 mg a day, It originally was prescribed for back pain but actually helps for the SFN I have. It is a class 4 opioid. When I originally stared taking it no agreement and then later had to sign the agreement plus give a urine sample, pill count etc. I am 80 years old and one feels like a drug addict being treated like this. My anesthesiologist informed me the Government really cracked down on these types of drugs after the overall abuse. It does depend upon the State. If they ever call me to come in I will give it up. I started a low dose Naltrexone to eventually get off the gabapentin and also the Tramadol. I wrote to my doctor as to the process in getting the agreement annulled.
