Although originally intended the guideline was “supposed” voluntary and only intended for primary care physicians treating non-cancer pain, many pain patients have been
- forcibly tapered to lower doses,
- cutoff entirely or even
abandoned by their doctors – all under the guise of preventing addiction and overdoses.

- The CDC has stood by and done nothing to correct the false portrayal of its guidelines by insurance companies and pharmacies and doctors
AMA affirms that some patients with acute or chronic pain can benefit from taking opioids at greater dosages than recommended by the CDC Guidelines for Prescribing Opioids for chronic pain and that such care may be medically necessary and appropriate.
