Rafter man, that's awesome insight & I pray my Dr continues to to give me the small amount he does & not give into the pressure to not rx them off label.  Mikka 

Thanks, Mikka. I hope that will be the case. A lot depends on the individual doctor. The new opioid's laws have a ton of loopholes in them. They are more for show than anything else. (I started a few threads about the new laws under "Chronic Pain"). No need for any doctor to be worried, but some doctor's have so many superior's telling them what to do. Such is the case with my wife's doctor. She used to give her Hydromet syrup for bronchitis. That contains hydrocodone. Then the new law went into effect in our state and all of a sudden that same doc with only write for a cough medicine that is so weak that it really should be OTC. This is sad, because they law was not put in place to stop my wife from getting cough syrup. Some doctor's are twisting the original intention of those writing these laws. No one is trying to stop all opioid distribution. My wife's doctor is under the guidelines of her practice, which is owned by people who don't even live in our state. I hope that you will do better with your doc. My best to you.  RM
