Wow! Maybe the doctor realizes you are taking too many opioids and are totally addicted and he is trying to wean you off the extremely high dose of 3 per day equals 180 pills per month😳
Maybe there is a better way for you🙏

Whoa! Be careful with that word! I was on Dilaudid for over six months and I did not become “addicted.” Just because you take opioids at dosages that are required to manage your pain and achieve a quality of life worth living do not mean they or I are “addicted.”

My pain is only managed to 40% BY CHOICE to keep my doctors OFF the DEA radar. My life would drive most people to suicide and I am not addicted. By your standards, my doctor should lower my meds right now because I am.
