Is it really just because of the fentanyl situation? I know there is a huge disagreement with how the strict rules for prescribing opioids are so tight even for chronic pain patients like myself who can’t participate in life without em struggle to find a provider who is willing to prescribe us them.
It’s fentanyl
Illicit fentanyl that did not come from a prescription, to be precise. Fentanyl can be an important and helpful medication when used correctly.
It’s not just fentanyl. I remember a lot of news about the “opioid epidemic” before fentanyl was a story.
fentanyl was on the streets long before it was a story
