When there is no cure for your diseases, who gives a hoot about addiction. I take morphine, slow release, and Staytex for break through pain. I plan on being on it until something better comes along, or I pass away. Do what works, and stay with it, it is "your" quality of life, not someone else's, or some Doctor, and the word "Addiction". Have a good day.

I have an amazing Pain Management Dr. in Oroville. His name is Dr N Brar. He is also an Associate Professor at the University of San Francisco Hospital! I hope you can find someone closer but if you can't, he's very bright and caring. My GP took me off of Soma almost a year ago because the AMA said Drs shouldn't prescribe it because it is addictive! The only opioid I take is Norco and I do my best to take very few, so I have never had an issues with not getting my pills! Hugs and blessings, Charlotte

I have Medicare and Health Net Healthy Heart HMO supplement plan

Do you have private insurance or state insurance? I live in Sac
