Yeah, I was starting to think that drug use negated any ability to read for comprehension.
Anyway, the cat is the one on bupe and gabapentin. *I'm* the one with the long term Temazapam/Lorazepam habit. (used as prescribed for 8 or so years by former shrink) that my current pdoc is trying to figure out how to get me free of without putting me though hell or exacerbating my mental and physical issues. So far, I gripe about taking the stuff and she shakes her head and writes the RXs and made me promise not to try to quit on my own.
My purpose in writing this was to warn about the new WI database and how hosed it is, and also to comiserate with those on replacement therapy who are "flagged" and how they are treated by the medical profession.
My biggest concern is that some poor person is going to be injured or post-surgical and be denied proper pain relief. In my case, I got my pain relief (which isn't working for shit. Back is beyond tramadol this time) and I have the dispensing pharmacy willing to speak with doctors to verify that the bupe RX with refills isn't for me.
But, if you fill a RX for controlled substances in WI, your name goes in this database. The dispensing pharmacy inputs the information. Technically, only medical personnel and pharmacists have access to the database, but law enforcement does as well.
Just something to be aware of if you are filling scripts from multiple doctors, are on maintenance, are filling scripts early, etc. In a state that uses a database, all that info is out there and IMO, it's not all that secure.
