I live in Wyoming and the same thing happens here.
I have been on very high doses of narcotics for nearly 20 years and seem to be grandfathered in. I will never be off of them.
That said, many of the pain doctors are being so heavily monitored and scrutinized by the Federal Government that they are afraid to write narcotics prescriptions for fear of writing a script for someone who sells their meds or uses the in a way that is not legal.
The government is at fault here, not the doctor!
Uncle Sam has put the doctors in a terrible spot and have asked them to become narcotics detectives regarding their patients!
Thi seems to be getting worse each year. A doctor cannot just be a doctor, anymore. He or she has to monitor their patients scrupulously and be a rat if they notice anything out of the ordinary!
I do hope that in the near future, doctors can treat patients as the SHOULD be treated instead of having to withhold needed medications due to being afraid of losing their licenses!
To answer your question as truthfully as I know about, yes! This is happening in EVERY State!
It's the government and all their new opioid guidelines. They have the pain Dr.s scared they are going to lose their license. It's worse in some states than in others.
