        Thanks for not using the term addict. Compassionate and dignified care for people with SUD certainly will help recovery. Thanks for the efforts.

        Agreed, doctors need to ween patients off of Opioids properly. Not just take them away abruptly. Doing so will just compound the problem.

        I didn't have a problem stopping Vicodin after a microdisectomy L5-S1, but did have a heck of a time getting past not knowing why unable to sleep and biases that ensued from how charming no sleep for weeks can be.

        All the more reason to expand *free* access to medication assisted treatment (MAT), like methadone maintenance and Suboxone to help people with #opiate #addiction lead healthier, productive lives. Every $ spent on methadone mx saves 7$ in future costs.

        I concur on this one because I could never stick to the schedule. Plus dad was my💊dealer of really potent shite. Average 150 mg daily for....20yrs. Add nortriptyline to that regimen & look out for psychotic symptoms. #Now I cannot stay still due to #pain & pacing in apt @FLOTUSpic.twitter.com/ja3q5FPvIz

        Humans have natural addiction mechanisms that keep us fed and help us to procreate and trigger our needs to help our fellow humans so the species survives. When foreign substances are introduced to our natural addiction systems we lose control of those systems. 1 of 2
