There is a national obsession and witch hunt against prescription pain relievers. I have been talking about
this developing for about a year, but recently, certain events show that unfortunately, I am right. The FDA's panel voted to do a BAN, i.e. completely eliminate, Vicodin, Darvon, and Percocet. And, on the over the counter side,
to decrease Acetaminophen dosages from 500 to 325 milligrams. Well, as I write this, today, on July 9, 2009,
the State Troopers of Texas, the DPS , were stopping ALL traffic on Interstate 20 between Tyler and Longview,
and searching all vehicles for drugs, especially prescription meds. I cannot see why they could assert they had "probable cause" to search all vehicles on an Interstate, but this shows the mania which is going on.

Texas has an Intractable Pain Act that advises physicians that they should not be reluctant to prescribe opiates / opiods if they are indicated to manage pain, and yet, if physicians DO begin prescribing Vicodin much, they are apt to get an intimidation visit from a "Compliance Officer" (I think they get ex-sheriffs or ex-constables to do this job from the ones I've seen). So, on the one hand, there is wording to make you THINK that doctors should not be intimidated, but in the real world, the Texas Medical Board is quick to act in such a way as to intimidate certain doctors if they think they are prescribing Vicodin too much.

IF you take away Vicodin, Darvon, Darvocet, Percocet, and even decrease over the counter pain meds, what do you think is going to happen? Well, more suicides, more violent acts by people in terrible pain, and a giant black market of prescription pain relievers.

You need to call and write the President, the FDA, and every legislator at the state and federal label and advise them that the people will not take this draconian action that will do nothing but bring harm to citizens needing pain relief.
