    Looking for something to do during that extra long #SuperBowl halftime? Check your medicine cabinets and secure or get rid of any unused / extra opioids. Everyone has a role in reversing the #opioid epidemic!

        Do YOU have a role in reversing the opioid epidemic? Maybe you need to read the peer reviewed literature, and see that it currently has little to do with prescription analgesics!https://www.dovepress.com/pain-management-prescription-opioid-mortality-and-the-cdc-is-the-devil-peer-reviewed-article-JPR …

        4/5 heroin/ fentanyl users report starting with prescription opioids. We can (and must) ⬇️ prescribing while still treating chronic pain.

        In #Ohio, fentanyl & its variations were involved in almost 60 percent of all overdose deaths in 2016. So @SenatorCarper & I decided to dig deeper into the source of this deadly drug. http://bit.ly/2E8qvNe  #opioidcrisis

        There is not an opioid epidemic. There is an illegal Heroin and Illicit Fentanyl Crisis. I don't keep that stuff in my medicine cabinet.

        Need to mention how to safely get rid of meds.

        Also need to mention you might want to hang on to them since #opioidhysteria has made getting a new script for your next injury highly unlikely

        And Sir, are you actually aware of the millions left in pain? Due to CDC guidelines? Please, research. Talk to CPP. Ty!

        I can appreciate the (right-minded) attempt to reduce the number of "loose" opioids in circulation. However, many patients are being persecuted and treatment needs to be increased for those dependent and/or addicted. We need more progressive treatment (SIFs, MAT, etc.)
