Anyhoo, if I ended up disappearing for days at a time, and pop out some complete garbage, here's a headsup to whats happening. See you on the other side.

In essence they are trying to clamp down on all long term use of opiod pain ìrelievers. So the avenues I have in front of me are declining
and only going ìto get harder to get. <sigh> I've been riding a
plateau in this department ìfor some time, which includes some 450mg of Tramadol a day, which is enough ìto horrify some people. Having tried
to go without I know this is going to ìbe.... difficult... and I
probably have a better understanding of addicts on ìfar worse
substances.
The time has come said the Walrus to something... No I'm not on enough drugs to
be seeing talking walrus'. On the other hand, the government in their infinite
wisdom have decided to make my current medications hard to get.

So having had an attempted start already, and now postponing till after this coming Sunday (tomorrow) I'll be trying to give it away. No idea where I'm going to end up, brain is going to need to serious retraining.

Good luck! Withdrawl is a bitch for sure!
I am sorry to hear that. Our government (not sure if it is federal or state), decided that opiod abuse meant they needed to crack down on opiodsand other random drugs that people might use to get high. My (limited)impression, being prescribed one of the non-opiod substances,
is that theybasically harass the folks who are taking the substances legally through alegit doctor while those who are abusing the drugs are still quiteapparently getting them. So then they can say they clamped-down but don'tknow how people who shouldn't have them are still getting them.
Don't get me started - the government, big pharma and ever doctors were completely negligent in what is an actual opioid crisis in America. It was and is disgusting.
There needs to be another pain medicine that doesn't come with high level of addiction like opioids. The solution can't end up being worse than the original problem.

Good luck with the quitting, and hope you're doing it with some professional assistance, so you're being monitored for any withdrawl issues. And also hope you have alternative pain relief lined up as
well to replace what you're quitting.

I'm sure someone in a big Pharma marketing department looked at
opioids and saw a recurring business opportunity.
... Move towards the unimportant

I have seen insurance companies obliterate clinics into bankrupcy. I
have seen them crucify doctors because they had a lower success rate
than average.
Everybody is so obsessed with Big Pharma but my experience with pharma
is that they creep to your door, begging you to buy their products,
while insurance companies stomp your door down yelling "YOU ARE GONNA
DO THIS FOR THIS CUSTOMER OF OURS OR WE WILL DESTROY YOU!"

Yeah, and health care is how much a percentage of GDP? Imagine if we
put all of that money into other parts of the economy...

Thats half the problem, there aren't any real alternatives. In the
short term it'll paracetamol and anti-defamatories, that was
insufficient 10 years ago, cue the slope to where I am now. I don't
see anything much new in the pain relief dept, most of the stuff we
have hails from WWII with bugger all work on anything newer.
Spec, starting to feel like a freeze dried hippy.

If we took that money and placed it in other parts of the economy then people would die of tretable medical conditions.
