Specializes in Pain Management

Opioid regulations: Yes this is correct - firstly you cannot use a short acting medication 4/day along with a benzo 3/day - new regulations So unless you have major exam restrictions then you will have to be weaned off the percocets and also the benzo. What changed ? Ask the non-medical folks in government and the non-medical regulators.
