      1/4 For today’s #SundaySpotlight, I would like to revisit this week’s big news--@CDCgov 2018 preliminary data showing 5.1% ⬇️ in drug overdose deaths after a decades-long rising trend. Read more via @WashingtonPost 👇https://wapo.st/2Yg0I2j

      3/4 A key contributor to this decline was a dip in deaths from prescription opioids. As I wrote in @JAMAInternalMed, physicians play a vital role in responding to #OpioidEpidemic. It’s important they talk—and listen!—to patients in pain. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2723622 …

          4/4 Another factor contributing to fewer drug overdose deaths, experts say, could be ⬆️ availability of naloxone. My message to you: Be prepared, #GetNaloxone and know how to use it. It could mean the difference between life and death. Learn more:https://bit.ly/30GIogm

          A key contributer was all the naloxone given out like candy on Halloween. The only thing done by preventing Rx meds is kill more people, ppl in pain, unable to endure!

          BS! Drs are not listening! They are scared so they are abandoning & reducing law abiding patients at an extremely dangerous rate! I’m sure that the disability applications are coming in. Write about that!

          I hope it’s based on illegal opioids only

          After last years numbers being off by 2000, I’m being highly optimistic with this decline.

          Prescription drugs or drugs prescribed to the decedent by a doctor? Where the deaths by prescription medicine suicides during forced tapering? Did anyone bother to find that out?

          Where in this article did it say that there were fewer deaths from prescribed medication? I didn’t see it.
