Any Dr that denies a potentially addictive medication that has been a effective for a patient, without ascertaining if the patient is abusing that medicationn should not be in practice.
My Dr does bloodwork everytime I see him every 3 months. Not only monitor the effect of the RA on my organs, but the levels of meds in my system, & watch for the effect meds might be having on organs also. They also monitor for illegal substances & unprescribed drugs. They do this with every patient. I don't understand why the DEA took the step of making it so obnoxiously difficult to prescribe hydrocodone instead of investigating over prescribing. I can pay for the triplicate paperwork required for it every three months, or settle for something that doesn't work as well & have to take more often. I settle & live with the additional pain. No one with actual, chronic, intense pain should go through this.

No they should not have too it is really ridiculous. And some local and state law's make it even harder than what the DEA have done.
