You're right. The opiate epidemic is only on epidemic because the government manufactured it by including heroin ODs and intentional overdoses. The majority of pain patients do not abuse or become addicted to their pain meds.

I have to take 2mg of klonipin every night. I have a prescription for 45 5mg oxicodone that my insurance company won't pay for.

I have a seizure condition and have more seizures if I stop taking klonipin. I also seem to have a missing screw from a previous surgery.

So I give up klonipin and have more seizures or give up pain meds while we figure out what is going on with my back.

Thank God kratom is still legal and takes care of most of the pain.

Trump isn't doing anything to help chronic pain patients with his fake opiate epidemic.

Goes back farther than President Trump, he’s working off false info and the LSM hype.

Make it a crisis and your city/county/state can ask for more federal funds to fight it.

Seizure med for me is Valium. 11 others have had horrid side effects. Now the feds/states are fear mongering legislating what amount your doctor can script for. Cut it by 85%, you might as well take a M & M for all the good it would do.

TN doesn’t even license Natural-paths. Nor does Medicare/Tricare recognize most alternative treatments. Rehab is restricted to 13 weeks for after surgery recovery even for hip replacement. After 13 weeks of hand rehab I still have a nearly useless dominate hand with a Frozen thumb, and more nerve damage to the wrist, and I’m 9 months from when the surgery was done and still can’t hold an ink pen and write my name. Typing can be done with the left hand or 1 finger of it.
