How Long Can Pain Medication Be Used For Fibromyalgia?
Why are the docters in missouri taking people off their pain meds so fast. Mine is taking 15 a month from me and had told me first I could choose between my pain meds or my anxity and I choose my pain meds cause I have fibro and that is what works for me. So why are they taking everyone off.

Hello,
Pain medications are adjusted according to the severity of pain and the doses are tried to keep the minimum so as to decrease the long term effects. If you are already taking it on alternate days then there is nothing to worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Praveen Tayal, Orthopaedic Surgeon
