I am now stuck in a similar situation, I live in Michigan and the state has once again lowered what doctors can prescribe (and the governor who is a Democrat) keeps lowering what can be prescribed. Oxy= 1.5x morphine equivalent. It has been lowered to 60mg per day, meaning I get 40mg of oxy a day.
I have been on it almost 7+ years. In August I gave up my morphine script( I had both). My doctor would give more if not for the state. My tolerance is up, I can't sleep eat or even think straight most of the time.
I have cirrhosis and pancreas problems.
I signed a form stating I can't get anything more from another doctor, unless approved.
The pain management doctors are assholes here. I would need a referral anyways and he is out of the country.
I would go to the ER, but my shitty insurance has a $9100 deductible. Have you seen the cost of an ER visit?
Besides I can't get a script from them anyways.
Gee, I have legit problems and can do nothing.
I am not poor, but I have some money but cannot legally do a damn thing.
What the hell, I have never abused my tiny amount of oxy, I don't exactly have a long life in my future. I was diagnosed 8 years ago with cirrhosis of the liver. My pancreas is a mess,
What, should I drive to Detroit? All the dope(I have never used heroin) it is fentanyl anyways. How is that going to look in my monthly piss test if I live.
I have to wait till early January to see my doctor. He told me if this were the 90's I would have no trouble giving you a higher dose.
They lowered it from 90mg morphine equivalent to 60mg( blue state for all who want to blame Republicans and 2022 piss test, hmm. A war on pain patients by the Democrats. Not political, just the truth.
I was an independent politically.
I take back a post I had against OTC codeine pills. CWE, no acetaminophen, wish I could.
I cannot sleep which means more hours to spread my 4 10mg pills over. This is bullshit, I have been good and followed the rules and I get fucked. I have legit pain and am told there is nothing that can be done.
One of Nurse Practitioners( they ain't doctors) said Go to the ER. But I can't accept any other scheduled script so what the he'll is that going to do but cost me thousands for nothing.
One big thing pain meds do, they allow me to eat
I have already spent over $4000 in the last 7 days on a lawyer deposit: and accountant fees for my dead dad's taxes( those bastards already charged me $2000-$3000, for very little.
My 10mg Valiums(diazepam) do nothing.
Even( laugh all you want) melatonin actually in larger than recommended doses knocked me out. Now nothing. I started smoking to control hunger. My pancreas keeps me from eating properly but pain pills use to help. Especially when I was on morphine 24/7.
My tolerance means I am now moderately sick all day, unless I take an oxy early.
After getting rid of the morphine I used to sleep 7or8 hours a day, then 3, now It's going to be at this rate every other day a couple of hours.
And the state expects me to handle all this legal bullshit.
My advice is this, if you are not in pain then get off opiods.
