You are not paranoid. I'm flagged by the DEA because I take adderal and percocet. Doctors are losing their license and going to prison for pill mills. It started the heroin epidemic. I'm blood tested all the time for no reason except probably a drug screen. I had a doctor check my arms for track marks and a receptionist tell me not to SELL my percocet script. It's very insulting. People with chronic pain are being persecuted for idiots. I have a recent xray and mri with major damage to back up my need for meds. I'm staying far away from a pain specialist because I'm 44. This will be a must at some point down the road. People confuse tolerance with abuse. My meds don't work because I've taken them for years,.but asking for something stronger is impossible.
