I don't understand the DEA, FDA, gov't etc. All these new rules and recomrecommendations for prescribing solves NOTHING. All it will do is push people on pain management to start doing illegal activities such as purchasing pills on the street and when that gets too expensive they will go to heroin and there will be more deaths.why do you think overdoses have increased over the past 5-8 years? Because that is when doctors started to get scared of the DE A and FDA and started cutting people who have legitimate chronic pain diseases such as M.S. or different types of Neuropathy. Before I started methadone I lived in a bed except to use the bathroom and showered 2 or 3 times a week. Since methadone I am as normal as can be with my disease. I only use the bed to sleep 6 or 7 hours a night. But I'm getting off topic. Trillions of dollars have been spent since Nixon started the war on drugs and where has it gotten us? NOWHERE. As long as there are humans walking on this planet there will be a desire, need, want for drugs and that will never change. Someone get in touch with me. I have studied this for 19 years now. I am extremely educated and can offer some good ideas. Thank you.
