Regulating Inefficiency Of Hydrocodone (Page 2) (Top voted first)

Why is it that the government wants to control the hydrocodone epidemic? There are overdoses happening anywhere and it doesn't have to come from a doctor or a pharmacy. If you compare the number of deaths from alcohol related accidents and alcohol abuse, lung cancer from cigarettes, they will outweigh the abuse and deaths from Hydrocodone. So why is the government and politicians not going after cigarettes and alcohol and banning them? Going to be because they make money off cigarettes and alcohol. People in chronic pain who actually need hydrocodone are made to suffer because the government does not make money off of these pills, but the companies who provide spinal cord stimulators and that type of thing do make money off people needing to get out of pain. Why is there a liquor store on every corner and why can you get cigarettes anywhere but you can't get hydrocodone for chronic pain?

They get bent out of shape because the only reason pain clinics open and are run by anesthesiologist is because they want to make the type of money doctors do without putting in the time. In order for them to make money they have to do more than just write pain Scripts. In order for pain clinic to be successful and generate income they have to push procedures. Their mission statement may say that they are there to help but they are the ones pouring money into the politicians pockets to back the reduction of opioids along with the companies that manufacture spinal cord stimulators and other medical equipment. That is why they get so bent out of shape when you do not want to have a procedure. This is not just my opinion. I've done the research. It wasn't hard you just have to follow the money trail. Who stands to make money off the reduction of opioids? It is going to take millions of people flooding these emails for them to even take a little bit of notice. Unfortunately I'm at the end and I'm hoping to get this done before I have to shuffle off this Mortal coil. Wish me luck. Everybody needs to take up this cause.

To add to my post the reason the politicians are involved is because medtronic's and the companies making these devices and the pain management companies are throwing money at the politicians to back their cause.

Re: Maria (# 9)

Great post Maria,I am in a panic because my meds are going to be cut off because my doctor is afraid of legal ramifications if he continues to prescribe the meds I need for chronic pain. Where do I go from here?

That's the bottom line... Because of the epidemic people with real pain such as myself have to suffer, because there is no one advocating on our behalf... SMH... unjustified treatment in America...WOW

Number one is they make more money on cigarettes and alcohol than they do on one particular pill. It definitely needs to be off the market. I myself experienced the death of a very good friend of mine where she said oh I’ll take two and then figured if she takes four it would help better and that’s what these kids are doing and taking just one then taking like 4 or 5, but as for myself, the right way to do it is going to a hospital and have the doctors and nurses take care of you. Physically they know what to look for and we don’t but nobody has ever died coming off of drugs or alcohol. Please write me back as to how I should handle that situation and what’s been going on for four years telling me all kinds of lies. He didn’t get paid this week... I’ve heard all the excuses in the book, so I am asking you if you can help me because I don’t know what to do anymore.
