Fun fact: It was invented by a guy named Don Gill, hence the term.

Sorry for your dad and fuck cancer.

I had to beg to get 10 Tylenol 3 with codeine after my hand surgery this year. When I got them, I was afraid to take them when I was in pain because I knew I wouldn’t get anymore. Fucking stupid rules.

Quoted:
My Dad is permanently crippled from failed back surgeries.  He's on regular doses of Norco just so he can live without pain.

So far there's no problem getting prescriptions from his doctor.  But, i'm worried that one day his doctor won't be allowed to write him scripts anymore for Loratab.

From what i've been reading, people with legitimate needs for opioid pain killers are turning to illegally purchased loratab or heroin to take the pain away.

The problem is the government always throws the baby out with the bath water.

Quoted:

Sorry to hear about your Dad.  

Yea, screw this made up crisis, my wife broke her arm ijn July and they gave her 400mg Motrin, she was in so much pain she was crying, I wanted to break their arm to equalize things out.

Hang in there, sending prayers out.

LOL. Thanks. Do I get points for getting close?    I did one of these when the guy gave it to me and said what it was. It sounded a bit "sexual" to me and I thought it was some bad IT joke. Now that I know the history of it, the name makes perfect sense.  Thanks!

The stupidity has gone Tarded, Retarded, and then drooling moronic.

The State in it's ultimate wisdom, limited by southeastern corner, fucktard socialist majority, and Citiot/Burbtard thinking  as representative,  decided to shackle Veterinarians, with an ass ton of conflicting regulations concerning documentation, and prescriptions.

The elected dipshits, created a legal trap for any Veterinarian, that dares fill a script for any opiod....because the filthy scum in the city's, openly and willingly abuse themselves, out of pathetic weakness.
Now, Veterinarians have a huge legal liability, and scripts have to be filled at Pharmacy cost, at the local pharmacy.

If your pooch tears an ACL, you pay for Surgery, and the only thing the Vet can offer is akin to Aspirin.
The option to pay out the nose for pain meds for the pooch is still there, you will just have to pay 6-7 times as much, at the local pharmacy.

The reason?
The sick fucks addicted to the shit, were injuring their Dogs, Cat's, and other pets on purpose....just to get the lower cost scripts, so fuck anyone's pets or live stock, lets drive up the cost; and line the pockets of mega pharma. The usual Govt. maggot answer.

Legalize the shit.
Ban Narcan.
Let Darwin do his thing and be done with the trash.

People suck.

Yes, people do suck. And my family are part of the problem. Patients are living with constant pain so hood rats and trailer scum can't OD themselves. These people are a constant drain on society. Their families are subjected to non-stop turmoil. They need to be dead. That's where they're headed anyway. Legalize everything. Either we're free or not.

At one of our hospitals some patient with a pic line went down to the lobby to meet his buddy. His buddy injected heroin into his pic line. DRT instantly. The shit hit the fan. Intense training for the nurses. Our nurses are training to be baby-sitters.

We're living 1930 all over again except the drug gang leaders are getting rich instead of Al Capone. The do-gooders say we can't legalize it because "for the children" bullshit.

Quoted:
I burned 1/3rd of my arm a few years back, got it debbeved and shaved, boy that was fun, they basically gave me Tylenol with codene and when I realized I would run out before my follow up appointment I basically had to get pissed off and they prescribed me the 2 pills I needed to get me through the weekend.

My POS sister in law however literally has a Walmart sack full of pain killers for her fibermialga (sp).

It’s literally bullshit.

I think culture makes a huge difference.  Americans love their drugs.  I do wonder if all that stuff was available over the counter if it would cause a temporary surge in drug abuse and then it would drop back down and reach a steady state.  Near prohibition doesn’t seem to be working.

Sorry about your dad OP.

The sackler family worked with their cousins in medical industry and the FDA to get opiods reclassified years ago so that you could get fetynl for back aches ans stuff, and became amounf the most wealthy.  Now terminally ill suffer for this

Whats the status with the legal weed up there ?

The true opioid crisis is that they're damn near impossible to get through legitimate means for people that actually need them.

Quoted:
I have worked in heavy construction my entire life and at this point all of my joints are arthritic. I can barely get out of bed in the morning but I have to to take my morning meds.

About two hours later I can move well enough to get out of bed and do the morning clean up needed.

About six months ago, my bone doctor showed me a report from the CDC about the "Opioid Epidemic" and told me that she will be lowering my meds to a much safer level.

As of now I am taking less than half of what I have been prescribed for the last six years and my quality of life is almost unbearable.

During the last six months I haven't been able to do much more than daily chores and duties. I won't go fishing or traipsing around like I used to because I know I won't be able to move for three or four days after. I can't even drive easily.

I am not proud to tell the people I deal with that I take opioids on a daily basis because of all the news coverage of the "Opioid Epidemic" People look at me like I am some kind stoner wanting only to get high.

I get tired. I have tried PT and all of the conventional methods of pain reduction without meds and it's not working. In fact, it makes life worse for me.

At this point, what should I do?

Like I said, I am tired and I am not happy with my life. Oh well, it's for the children I guess.

OP and others, I am sorry that people have to be uncomfortable in the stage of life they are at. I would happily give up my meds if it would make your loved ones more comfortable.
