Top Tweets for #ForcibleTapers
@healthseeker @ibdgirl76 I'm confused as to why you're weighing in & judging Bev for pointing out that dangerous #ForcibleTapers are likely coming for patients on #benzos? I suspect #stimulants like adderall will be next.
A stampede away from prescribing medications for #QualityOfLife=dire outcomes.๐ง
@DenisDaly @SueJonesSays @revdrbogwitch @LisaWinslow Patients are undergoing #ForcibleTapers of medication. Some have been abandoned by doctors as well.
Yes...those of us experiencing this on the patient side have been FORCED to rely on coping skills & mindfulness alone. I used the word very carefully. ๐
In what other area of medicine, @Filtermag_org?
HONESTLY? Are we invisible? How many years have the *OTHER* drug users in the #PainCommunity been screaming about #MedicalAbandonment, medical PTSD, #ForcibleTapers, #SuicideDue2Pain, & sudden death?
Why are #CPP always left out?
"I was informed I could not receive treatment for my crippling depression because I must first 'graduate' from addiction treatment," writes @DerekTFrasure. "They became increasingly frustrated that my goal was to manage my alcohol use rather than abstain."

I'm so grateful Dr. Darnall is addressing this deadly practice on our behalf.๐

I find it unconscionable that #BrentSlone was *blamed* for misusing his Rx medication.
The truth is far worse, & the onus of responsibility was on his #PainClinic. Cutting a patient from 540 MME to 240 MME in one

Why does this KEEP HAPPENING, #MedTwitter?
We need answers. #ForcibleTapers seem to be happening even more regularly.
Somebody tell me why? What is going on? Who is behind this push to torture #PainPatients?
Is it political? ๐ง
Haven't had the mental strength to update until now but I'm now being experimentally forced off my pain meds. Tylenol included. NO alternative offered. Elevated liver function tests which have been consistently low are being blamed on meds. Where do I go from here #NEISVoid ?
These #ForcibleTapers have to stop.
We have to get the #DEA & #DOJ reined in, or people will continue to perish due to uncontrolled pain.
I can't BELIEVE this is still happening. ๐ณ๐๐ณ

Iโm on a 5% taper, & his goal is to get me completely off of pain meds. I tell him every visit it isnโt working for me & I have no quality of life. He tells me heโs under pressure from multiple sources to reduce his monthly rxโs. I believe him but....โน๏ธ
What do you bet that the results don't show what they were hoping for? What if they destabilized patients on #LongTermOpioidTherapy by claiming they were ADDING services like acupuncture, & instead didn't like what they found when patients underwent #ForcibleTapers? As a reminder
Just a few screenshots from the description of #AlternativeConsent:
You can obtain consent from patients WITHOUT THEIR DIRECT KNOWLEDGE if the study is deemed
*minimal risk* to the patient.
Who determines such a thing?
No doubt, #ForcibleTapers were done w/#AlternativeConsent.
One of the most trusted journalists we have as #PainPatients is @maiasz!
I trust her to treat the subject matter in a fair, balanced, & humane manner. Please contact her if you've experienced such harms. She's awesome.โค #Narxcare #PDMP #opioids #ForcibleTapers #Aprisss #stigma
attention chronic pain pts & caregivers. I'm working on a big story about risk scores, algorithms and prescription monitoring programs & looking for stories about pple who have lost care because of high "opioid risk" or "narxcare" or other scores. [email protected] please share!
Hey fam, if we don't participate in this study, the harms associated with #ForcibleTapers & abrupt cessation, patient abandonment, & unethical tx of #PainPatients will continue. Please participate. It's a big ask, but a crucial one. ๐๐
THANK YOU! โคโค #opioids #SuicideDue2Pain
1/If you are bereaved by loss of a close friend or family member to #suicide after a change in prescription pain medication, please consider our research survey, online or by phone https://t.co/MTxI83LZij
@VanilaSingh @DeptVetAffairs @SecWilkie I'm very saddened.
This isn't anything but a number to please politicians. The #VeteranLives we have seen upended by #ForcibleTapers of opioid medication is still an unknown. No one is looking at the lives we've lost to uncontrolled pain. Will that ever change? #SuicideDue2Pain
Another INTERESTING #Hospice tidbit from my meeting today for mom.
I WAS ASKED IF SHE HAD A PROFOUND WEIGHT LOSS. Those of you with weight loss after #ForcibleTapers? CALL #HOSPICE. Give it a go. What do you have to lose??? They do palliative care OUTSIDE of #EndOfLife.
#Call!๐
The #CDCGuidelines have caused incalculable damage. People are dead from #SuicideDue2Pain & horrific effects of uncontrolled pain upon the body. The true #DeathToll may never be fully known. No agency bothered to track the #Outcomes of patients from #ForcibleTapers & cessation.๐ง
@doctuir @MoogieMonsters @DanLairdMD This is 100% true. Pain patients especially those families of suicide victims should be compensated. They should have scripts back & have no worries going fwd with their lives ever again. This 2016 GUIDELINE had caused collateral damage.
I'd like all politicians & LEOs to know (with respect):
You've been lied to.
You don't have a medical degree.
Persecuting patients & doctors for profit or appearances is a BAD look.
#ForcibleTapers can kill & do #harm.
History won't look kindly on cruel & thoughtless policies.๐ค

We've had the message #opioids don't work for #ChronicPain blaring as the truth for over 3 years now, all without sufficient evidence (aside from low quality studies).Because of this, patients have been destabilized across the country after #ForcibleTapers.๐ง
@docroland @headdock @AjayManhapra @tal7291 @Deeenst @PainPtFightBack @DawsonInga @annavrmac @maiasz @ChadDKollas @giazillarawrr @Tootwisted40 @djwilliams35 @DrJulienArbor @process_x @NitaGhei @SomethngChronic @MM14551876 @karikruska @StopBadDocs @ThomasKlineMD @dr4liberty @ravensspirit68 @Pharmaciststeve @StefanKertesz @JoshBloomACSH @EMARIANOMD @KMBoling @RogueWolf2001 @SimonoffBob @JSG_54 @EDSAmanda @CherylIsanogle @Amy_L_Partridge @cremer_mary @DanLairdMD @DEAHQ @NatlAssnAttysGn Certainly not every #suicide, but yes, a chunk of them are patients who were unceremoniously destabilized by #ForcibleTapers of medications.

@11kelleyk @ReeseSTyrell @speakingabtpain Yes, it's very complex. I can't entirely agree that we haven't been able to be clear about #opioids, #ChronicPain. & #SuicideDue2Pain here. Twitter & Facebook is how we got the word out that patients wanted to die after #ForcibleTapers.
It's had it's place in this tragic journey.
