Guest guest Posted August 17, 2002 Report Share Posted August 17, 2002 Hi Everyone: This is Colletti. I think I found the answer out that everyone is wondering about. Yesterday I went to my DR and I asked him if he had heard anything about Doctors not being able to write scripts for oxycontin and etc. He said there was a group of people (Doctors & , etc.) who were trying to get oxycontin outlawed and brought it to Congress, because this drug is a drug of choice of drug addicts and many people have been dying from it. (People who abuse it) They take too much of it or mainline it and it does kill them. So this group brought it before Congress but they didn't succeed. Also, scientists are trying to make the drug a slow release long acting drug, so this way the drug addicts wouldn't be able to overdose from it. It would also then loose it's street value. However, Doctors are still able to prescribe it. Maybe some of them became afraid to when they heard the news about what some people were trying to do. Someone should inform that DR who won't prescribe it that it is still legal to prescribe it. If not, maybe he is afraid for some odd reason. Any way there are plenty of Doctors out there that will prescribe it. I hope someone will tell the party who had the problem with their DR to look for another Dr. Have a happy pain free day.
