Hard to say: These drugs are controlled substances monitored closely by the state & DEA from original manufacture to end user. Unless a doc can justify their use to an external auditor that reviews your case, they have little choice but to stop a med they find does not meet usage requirements. You are always free to consult another doc to review your needs/case. If they can justify use you may be able to.
