That is the truth. The ENT that did my ND. He wont prescribe anything stronger than Loritab 7.5. In fact, when I got out of surgery, I figured I woud have one of those neat buttons. I had one after my girly surgery. Nope. I got Loritab 7.5. That might have been enough if I hadn't been taking them since Sept08. My husband spoke to the MD's nurse. He wont prescribe anything stronger than that even if I were a hospsice patient. I quote "he doesn't want to be involved in anyone's addiction"
I got a copy of the OR orders, the OR record, and my discard paperwork. Went to my lovely GP and he happily precribed something stronger.
