Thank you for advocating for opioid #addiction. Patients need access to *life-saving* medications, methadone & buprenorphine (Suboxone).

and naltrexone?
-
Yes, also FDA-approved for opioid dependence (& alcohol). Methadone & buprenorphine have far more data showing safety & efficacy.
-
agreed odd though naltrexone around a while maybe its not as much fun? at least no street value w Ntx
-
"Fun"? My patients w opioid dependence are vomiting, depressed, in pain & dying. Not "fun" at all.
-
May I ask whether you mean dependence or addiction? Sudden stoppage of
#opioids withdrawal? -
So then can be a physiological v. psychological issue re long term opioid use? That is, must be tapered like antidepressants?
-
The physiological tolerance and tendency to withdrawal is a reality. For some people they keep doses low/intermittent and that works

What you said about medication is stigmatizing, provably false and dangerous. You want to dismiss the MOST effective treatment available?

Tom Price is a poor excuse for a human being He somehow got a license to practice medicine & has used it to deny healthcare as a Congressman
-
You can't help it. You are compelled to troll because you're driven by hatred and delusions. You don't have a clue what you're talking about
-
I calls em how I sees em. Price spent his entire career as a Congressman working against expanding healthcare coverage. Where is his plan?
-
It's not his job to come up with a plan, it's to enforce it, and healthcare has declined, while prices soar, since the Feds got involved.
-
It's not the job of the HHS Sec who has preached repeal "&" replace for 8 years to have a replacement plan? Who should have the plan, Jared?
-
Do you know how laws are passed?
