All while knowing how tolerance works? This would create a pattern of people seeking elsewhere if true.
I believe this is true. I'm sure many of us are under prescribed because dr.'s are scared to death to give as much as they know a patient needs to really be effective. I know because my dr. has cut what he use to prescribe in half. Been on this med for decades, so naturally less is not gonna help much. That's the reason many of us are forced to make up for the cutbacks by ordering what we need to help get us back to the level that actually works. Tolerance doesn't matter anymore. Dr.'s that will still prescribe are gonna give you as little as they can get away with so that it doesn't perk up the ears of the DEA.
Because of some people using these meds for recreation, it's caused those of us that need them just to be able to function, suffer so much more than is fair. What else do they expect us to do? I'm sure that if any of our "leaders" making these laws are in pain or whatever, they would have no problem getting as much of whatever they want. They're not gonna suffer. That's for us little people to do. Gotta luv the system.
