        But what will you do to stop the barter of American children for #FederalAdoptionIncentives and #TitleIV dollars? We, The People are sick and tired of our beloved grandchildren being bartered away into the adoption market because their parents can’t get meaningful treatment.

        So someone on a 20 year opioid plan being cut off cold turkey was the #FDAs way of cutting new addiction? How about those same people hitting the streets for relief? The error is, now the streets are packed full of illicit carafentynal due to prescribing cuts. Backfire much?

        And if feels as the voices of those with cp have been dismissed. Wouldn’t you be angry if your doctor was treating you for MS and you had cancer? That is what these guidelines have done. Pushed all those dx with cp into the SUD category. To me malpractice.

        ... this is not a one size fits all solution to pain control. Also stop counting suicides or deaths from obvious other sources as opioid deaths just because there is an opioid present at time of death. Stop counting poly-pharm deaths as more than 1 death. One can only die once!

        Leaving hospice patients to linger in agonizing pain for there end of life care. Forcing CPP off there pain meds cold turkey. And condemning them to either end there lives or go to more dangerous options sold on the street. These opiod guidelines is making addiction worst.

        What is totally missing is harm reduction. If we seriously want to curb the death rate from opioids we would immediately open up safe injection sites everywhere, We would also set up centers where ppl could go and detox free of charge, and walk out with MATs or other treatment

        You aren't succeeding- unless rising overdose deaths, combined w/LOWER prescriptions- combined w/the suicide of many #CP patients due to govt lockdown on needed meds & the daily effect that has etc means success #StopTheLies #FollowTheScience #opioidhysteria

        How about cutting the risk of death through drug development aimed at bringing to market new analgesics that don’t cause respiratory depression? Addiction is irrelevant to a corpse!

        Why is it that the FDA keeps putting their head in the sand and ignores how many of the ‘so-called’ accidental overdoses are currently suicides due to lack of enough opioids to control pain? One goal should be to require that all doctors get genetic tests of cytochrome 450...

        The American people are tired of disgustingly outrageous rip-off unsafe drugs we want natural things that work, example of that is kratom I've taken every drug you guys have and I don't like them I take Kratom and I have a good functioning life now.
