90% dosage reduction of opiates – NO BIG DEAL ?
Hello Steve I am writing you today because my mothers doctor just left her didn’t give here any federal doctors to go to. Now this doctor has had my mother on 30 mg oxycodone 3 times a day as needed. My mothers is legitamitley disabled recieves social security for her disability which is a very difficult nuerological disease similar to Lupos & Ms but in its own leagues. Anyhow her new doctors will not give her her medicine she was receiving 120 30 mg oxycodone a month for the past &a half years ! & now this new doctor wants gave her a 30 5mg prescription to last her the month .... ! I ? I’m enraged watching my mother in which has to be pain pill withdrawal because I’ve never seen her like this before my question to you sir is … Is she eligible for a ADA Complaint case ?
So this pt goes from 90 mgs/day to one tablet/dose of 5 mg that would last her 2-4 hrs… and she is suppose to get her “8 hrs sleep” so that her body can attempt to “restore itself” … however much that is possible under her co-morbidity issues.
Under our legal system our President is the final authority if certain laws are enforced or not enforced or who they are enforced upon…
Here is a recent example of who our ADA laws are being enforced
Discriminating against pain…. OK ??? …but if you have HIV… good to go ??
Pain clinic was fined $30,000 for denial of care… civil rights violation/discrimination under the Americans with Disability Act.. not because this pt was covered under the ADA because of their disabling pain.. BUT.. because the pt was HIV +.
Just remember … the Congress that passed The Harrison Narcotic Act was Democratic controlled
the Congress that passed The Controlled Substance Act 1970 was Democratic controlled
During the last 8 yrs… Congress has been controlled at times, by both parties… and the war on drugs have taken a turn toward a war on pts…
IMO.. a very good reason to:
SHARE YOUR PAIN !!!

There are too many people in the same boat including myself. I have been on 125 mcg fentanyl changed every 48 hours as well as4 mg dilaudid every3 hours for the past 10 years with no adjustment in dosages. I also took .25 mg xanax as needed which I am now told WILL kill me. Why am I not already dead? I had been using Actiq until my insurance refused to pay for them causing the change to dilaudid. At that dosage I dam near had a life. I am being Titrated down to less than one eighth those dosages. Depending on what provider I end up with i may end up with NOTHING. These stories are being repeated all to often and I fear there isn’t a dam thing we can do about it!
That is disgusting I am so pissed for her and I don’t know her I would take that weasel Doctor and snap his neck.
So what should this patient do?
