  2.  @joanbrennan2534 What is 10% of your original? 5mgs? Some of us don’t even get proper care, we are just stuck. I feel for you and everyone who has to go through this, it’s not fair to us.

  3. Most of us have been totally abandoned by the system. I’m sitting here in this scenario. Unfair does not even begin to describe it!

  4. Where you on something and they took you off it? or aren’t giving you anything in the first place?

  5.  @cassie05  Bless your heart, that is terrible, have you ever considered seeking a Pain Management Dr? Especially Since you use it so infrequently they may be able to help you. i can kind of see the concern, Drs are hesitant to prescribe especially to those on any form of Benzo because the risk of OD is significantly inflated, While not even close to the number of fent ODs Benzos do play a big part in the ODs of patients, simply because both are CNS depressants and Benzos will prevent you from feeling your lung essentially getting close to OD, now as long as you don’t mix them, you would be ok. But A lot of Drs are hesitant because they get into trouble if something happens to you because of something they prescribed. If it’s a low dose of Benzo they will probably be more willing. No one should have to be forced to live without medical help or relief. 💜💪 And your correct, all those scripts are Tracked via the PIX System.

  8.  @possumofantikka8160  But my facts aren’t wrong……. Co Perscribed Benzos are statistically one of the leading causes of over dose deaths from perscription meds. When combined with Opiods it can cause lethal Respiratory suppression. Alcohol will also do the same thing. Combing alcohol and Opiods, or alcohol and Benzos can be a lethal mix. Alcohol, and Benzos are CNS DEPRESSANTS. Opiods are also a CNS depressant. When combined together in high enough doses. It can cause Respiratory failure. You don’t have to take my word for it. Look it up. In the correct dose it’s safe. But the line between correct and too much is rather blurry.
