BIND is not a medically recognized diagnosis. But it probably will be once the deposit hits the psychiatrist’s account

The DPF plans to visit Arizona, Texas, and New Jersey/New York in 2027 to continue advocating for chronic pain patients. At each event, we give a presentation, hold a patient support group, and invite state lawmakers and practicing physicians to hear firsthand what patients are experiencing. We rely solely on donations and our subscription page. thedoctorpatientforum.com/

This is the problem. We have seen far too many Suboxone casualties and it continues today.

Suboxone is recommended for short term. Anyone who finds they become dependent on them and cannot get off of them easily can be insured by withdrawal. There are no magic exemptions from the Suboxone risks.

Yesterday I spoke with a friend who relocated to Oakland, CA. She needed to call 911 for her dad. She was on hold for 60 seconds and it took over 30 minutes for police/fire to get to her house Why such a long response time? Welp, The Anti Police-Terror Project successfully pressured Oakland officials to defund the police The chickens are coming home to roost

This is a “harm reductionist” who acknowledges she sold Suboxone for her drug of choice. These harm reductionists have accused me of being funded. But it turns out, they’re PAID to distribute Narcan/fentanyl testing strips/pipes/and pamphlets that are filled with information like “try to poop before. This is so your drugs are absorbed better.” Another harm reductionist pays himself 200k a YEAR! I’m paid $1000 a month and we rely solely on donations yet I’m the dishonest one??? are you kidding me? The streets are littered with legless zombie like bodies/dirty syringes and God only knows how many children have overdosed on the opioid Suboxone because of this harm reduction scheme Many of these HR frauds vilify the Sackler family, demand a safe supply of drugs for only addicts, and they somehow believe they should dictate how opioid settlement funds are spent They created a narrative that would benefit them professionally and financially. That same narrative would lead to a growing suicide list in the Pain community. Everyone else is to blame for their addiction except them?? For the love of gravy, can we make accountability great again?

If you get called to serve a federal grand jury, federal prosecutors lie to secure indictments. They will deliver to you their version of the truth. The old saying that a grand jury would indict a ham sandwich rings just as true today as it ever did. There are hundreds of innocent physicians who remain incarcerated

“I was told by a male doctor “ you were probably sexually abused as a child and you probably don’t remember and you are somatizing your pain” - Angel Marsaglia She had endometriosis #NeverSayYes when asked about childhood trauma. It will only be used as a weapon.

Suboxone shareholders lobbied for this
Replying to @CMerandi
How about how Medicaid requires that a NC pharmacy can only fill Suboxone with Naltrexone with a name brand or they won't reimburse for generic? So tax dollars are paying over $ 800 for 30 day supply versus generic costing around 60.00. Like what the hell!!

I’m surprised they’re not telling patients that your anxiety will disappear when you stop your benzodiazepines That’s what they said about pain medication They said once you stop your pain medication, your pain will diminish

It's kinda obvious why they only go after the known distribtors of certain substances. There's no MAT, rescue, or big litigation money in the bigger issues seen with the illicit stimulants. Can't get the $$$ out of the small, numerous street dealers. It's 🙊🙈🙉 about these:

Every single patient who is on daily Suboxone that I have talked to talk slow with a bit of a slur, Suboxone is a brain destroyer

Look at the clowns holding signs. Interesting that some of the same individuals who vilified the Sackler family and OxyContin are now fighting over how the opioid settlement money should be spent. Most of their loved ones were never legally prescribed OxyContin or any other prescription opioid yet prescription pain medication became the scapegoat and millions of chronic pain patients have been forced to suffer because of it. I find it rather delicious to watch these groups fight over blood money. May you all receive what you have done to many. insidernj.com/press-release/…

I don’t know. But nobody has to spend $32,000. If a patient wants to taper, their doctor should be able to work with a compounding pharmacy

The government is creating the narrative they want you to believe about a plant called kratom. Right now, kratom is losing in the court of public opinion and that’s exactly what the government wants. Same narrative was used with OxyContin/Sackler family even though Purdue had 3% of the overall opioid market. The war on kratom is about 3 things: lawsuits against kratom manufacturers & distributors, getting kratom users hooked on the highly addictive opioid Suboxone, and securing opioid settlement dollars to further fund the anti-kratom narrative. And Andrew Kolodny of @BrandeisU is at the root of this evil

For nearly a decade, we’ve traveled across the country meeting with patients, MDs, lawmakers, and government officials. We’ve met with the members of Congress and state legislators, advocating for changes to policies that have harmed acute/chronic pain patients. The DPF has chapters in all 50 states, and we continue to work at both the state and federal levels. Harmacy organizations have lobbied to make it easier for addicts to access the opioid Suboxone while making it harder for pain patients to access pain medication
