Because the DEA set limits on the amount of stimulants that can be manufactured because they are being abused by those using them illegally. And by golly by gee, because there are people that are abusing the medications, those who actually USE the medications get hosed. Who gets it worst? Of course it's the poor and those who mainly rely on generic medications. This also does a fine job of making the medications scarce, which increases the price of the meds. This affects the poor some more. This insures that the wealthy and the criminals will get their supply. Such good intentions and good-natured government we have here. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When a child at the facility I work with needs a new pain med at night, like morphine or fentanyl, I first have to call the Doctor to get an order (not a problem) I have to then call in and fax the order to the pharmacy along with a form for the DEA stating the doctor has authorized me to call in orders. The pharmacy then has to call the on call pharmacist who then has to call the doctor to verify the order. The pharmacy then calls me and gives me permission to open an emergency narcotic box. (It is a federal offense to open the E-kit with out permission of the pharmacist) on a good night, this takes about an hour. This whole time a child is (or would be) in severe pain. Of course a nurse with lower scruples would give the morphine right after the doctor gave the order, but not me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
