Bro, many doctors are terrified of catching the DEAs attention to the point where people who actually need them have trouble getting all controls, not just opioids.
A bunch of doctors running pill mills did get busted for it.
It was a pretty small number of doctors who actually faced consequences for it. Personally, I put more blame on the companies pushing the drugs and releasing false information.
And, yes, there are many doctors who are currently afraid of getting in trouble and that sucks. It’s the classic thing where the well-meaning, rule-following types get overly terrified while shitty actors can keep doing whatever. Then that sucks for everyone who actually needs help.
Thank you for saying it. I wanted to, but my brain isn’t working well, 'cause my untreated chronic pain is taking up all my brain power. Exactly because of what you mentioned. Even though I always did everything right and never would dream of abusing them. Life is hell now 🙃

And the medical schools. Even in the 90s students were taught that you couldn’t get addicted to opioids if you had legitimate pain.
Fuckin’ crazy. Feels like engaging critical thinking there might have helped.

Yeah, continuing an Adderall prescription is a pain in the ass thesedays, which really sucks when you need it to function.
Tbh the DEA should always have been subservient to the FDA
