I wanna be Forest! What a smart and beautiful man!

Aw man...I guess I'll be Jenny. *shakes head with minor disappointment*

She was kinda hot til she got all doped up.

I truly feel where you're coming from P, and I am onboard. A protest march may not be the best option since many here wouldn't make it one city block!...but I agree there has to be a better way. It's a huge problem with no clear fix. In the meantime we have to keep taking chances in order to live the best life possible, taking it one day at a time.

I'm like many here that do the order little extra meds to get by . I use to get them from my doc when I really didn't need that much medication and now my conditions worse and its harder because of the laws.

I hope making a thread like this causes no problems I just wanted to see what other views where on it.

The gump, jenny thing I didn't get ?

Let's face it , There the people who truley need meds because of the health and other are into other things here and to each there own!!!

Of course there is no problem starting this thread, it's always good to read a variety of view points. Gump and Jenny aren't related to the topic, it's just Cat and Peanut joking around. Two peas in a pod is from the movie Forrest Gump, BTW.

Thanks 2earls for the info here I wasn't sure and now understand more better . I started the topic for others who are having trouble getting the meds you need to function. Im not concerned about people who are experimenting with drugs so hope the people with real health issues keep writing and hope some lawyer and doctor read it and give a idea how to repeal the law or get government to notice its hurting people with health problems and that's no joke

Just last nite I went to the drug store to pick up a couple prescriptions for my wife and while I was there I wanted a packet of vivarin (ya know, just regular 200mg caffeine p1lls). I couldn't find them so I asked at the pharmacist counter, and was advised that those are now kept 'behind the counter'...I asked why and she tells me they have a potential for abuse, mainly with kids & teens. Then she wants to know if I have any questions about their use...seriously?!?!

I'm afraid it's gonna get much worse before it gets better for patients dealing with chronic intractable pain (CIP). It's politically sexy right now to demonize PK's, and I can't imagine any politician who'd be willing to pick up the torch in support of making them more readily available. It'd be political suicide for them, since those coping with CIP are the minority, and the majority/healthy public hold the belief/stigma that those who use PK's as mere drug seekers/abusers.

It's just like someone else said earlier in this thread; before long we're gonna have to get a prescription for a f'ing aspirin. This issue truly makes me crazy. I hope someone can come up with a workable strategy to help CIP patients soon. I doubt it will be politicians, and although it SHOULD be a priority of doctor's, they damn sure won't do anything since they're under big brother's thumb.

This is another bullshit thing I have to do to get them patches that numb you up . I go to rite aid and they say you need prior authorization .My doc doesn't do paperwork and feels the script is my authorization to get this med. Im going say I only want them patches but damn insurance will not pay so guess give me some more oxys or dills because the insurance will pay for them but doctor only writes so many a month. Yea are health care works fine if your rich, but things happen to people who where working and you get into a accident and have to deal with are system and for anyone reading this up your auto police for underinsured because somebody mistake can wreck ur life so be prepared.

It is absolutely ridiculous. If doctors actually did their jobs and fixed our problems, we would have no need for IOPs or any of this insanity. They make drugs for a reason. Now the dea has doctors too afraid to prescribe what is necessary.

If we were to band together and demand our medicines though, I think we would be condemned as drug seeking addicts and written off by everyone.

The best way to currently band together and get what we need is to communicate between ourselves and get what they won't provide on our own. We could always move to mexico. Lol

In my 10th and 11th grade, I easily knew where the store kept the Vivarin.  Doesn't anyone remember cramming for midterm and final exams?

And in earlier adulthood, real Sudafed was the best thing for my tough colds and congestion.  Now, you have to jump through hoops to get it from the pharacists counter.

And at least in my otherwise liberal state, there's what's called a CURES database that tracks whenever you pick up controlled meds from the pharm. 

"Liberty and justice for all', my arse! 
Look, if you don't want your clothes Made in China, you go vintage or make your own.  Can't see why the more scientifically inclined among us don't try the DIY approach, at least just for personal use.  Clandestine labs shouldn't be wasted on meth, but sleep aids and such!  Just like those w/green thumbs for MJ and poppy pods.
