It’s my careful opinion that after having trouble in NY and FL with my request for filling low mg Klonopin and Tramadol used specifically for pain for chronic Lyme disease that doctors cannot dispense or prescribe like they once did. They can try but the prescriptions are automatically filed with the individual state medical controls and you are or will be most certainly denied. The pharmacies are also controlling your intake too. I’ve run into that in Florida. And the doctors are alerted and drop you like a hot potato! It’s the bums who rent out space in an upper floor and try with underhanded methods to dispense illegal amounts of pain meds. I’ve seen this come and go in my own neighborhood. Especially NY. I’m having trouble in Florida and it gets to the point that one is humiliated to ask for pain - or be in extreme discomfort 24/7. The alternative is to be a very “strong” patient and just BEAR UP to pain and the doctor is so pleased. I’ve had embarrassing moments and received the doctor’s skeptical demeanor and leave sheepishly after he finally dispenses a pitiful amount that won’t take you to 30 days. Getting a little wiser, I’ve then resorted to the states ruling about coding & how to obtain the decent amt of pills so I can function from day to day.
