Just to warn you the "war on drugs" and chronic pain patients is being expanded, and is coming to a benzodiazepine near you ! I am not unfortunately kidding , nationwide prescriptions for all controlled substances is being overhauled ,no more prescription pads ,everything has to be written and sent electronically , and medical records are being shared with federal controlled substances monitoring databases ,so they can better target and victimize people taking narcotics or now also Benzo's with new layers of hoops to jump through if you prescribe them . Doctors increasingly are required to check these databases before prescribing them to verify they are the only one prescribing them to the patient ,as well as go after polyphamacy ,people taking any kind of sedateing medication in combination with Benzo's( so anthistamines,antidepressants,antipsychotics, pain meds etc etc. ) clinical judgement/ compassionate medical care is being hijacked both by bean counters (insurance industry ) and multi layers of "abundance of caution" government and industry watchdogs .and not a single government or watchdog agency cares that as they make access to legal medications impossible ,they are driving the drug abuse illicit substance use and suicide rate into the stratosphere,and thats not counting the death rate from accidental oversose because everything is being adulterated with one of the 208 street versions of Fentanyl ,its cheap and easy to adulterate almost anything ( two years ago in Florida 12 people died taking "Xanax" it looked like real Xanax ,however they were counterfit and had lethal amounts of Fentanyl imported from China .sadly the largest drug supplier is currently the USPS .
