Hello, Mike! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having.

There have been many new changes going into effect throughout the U.S. and one of them is many states restricting the daily dose for most chronic pain patients to the equivalent of 100mgs of Morphine or less. With exceptions only being made for people with chronic conditions that have the potential to be terminal, such as stage 4 cancer.

The FDA classifies this medication as being a a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Have you spoken to your doctor about the issue? They may be able to change the dosage, or prescribe an alternative medication.

Not all states are going with the 120.

From what I've read, New York and several others are going with a 100mg equivalent.

Why they've lowered it further, I don't know, they've not provided any explanation.

The 120mg equivalent was the recommendation set forth in the new directives from the DEA last year.
