Hello, Mike! How are you and your son?

Due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, if such a medication is required on a long-term ongoing basis for the management of chronic pain, he'll need to see a pain management specialist. A PCP can no longer prescribe like that.

This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

However, there is no listing of doctors that I can refer to for you according to what they will or will not prescribe. The best thing to do would be to get him set up with a new PCP and then have them refer him to a specialist.

Can anyone suggest a good doctor in that area?
