It's interesting that we never hear about the studies showing that forcing patients off LTOT increases their risk of mortality. Not only is it not helpful for pain patients, it actively increases their rate of death. https://t.co/1sx2EepsfU

PROOF- Mortality in discontinuing opioid therapy is HIGH. Battling addiction and overdoses from illicit fentanyl does not mean you get to kill disabled people while you’re at it. Each are both very important but SEPARATE issues! #deniedpainmeds https:/

"Discontinuation of COT did not reduce risk of death and was associated with increased risk of overdose death." https://t.co/HQIlaAvjPC
@StefanKertesz @UABSOM @UABNews How about doing a study to see if COT termination causes more death or less. Studies show it triples the risk of death. First, DO NO HARM. https://t.co/HQIlaAvjPC

That is one major reason why those who are forcibly tapered, against their will, and without medication problems, have a higher mortality rate than those left on successful medication protocols. https://t.co/1sx2EepsfU

Beyond tapering not being supported in the literature is this study, which shows that tapering patients who require high dosage levels is dangerous and increases mortality. https://t.co/TnJl5nbHow
I'd like to offer this - it's a study that showed that tapering is dangerous to the patients. Staying on higher doses of opiates, if the pain requires it, is safer than going through tapering. https://t.co/TnJl5nbHow
There is nothing in a pain patient's life that makes as much difference as a sufficient medication regimen to control the amount of pain. Although we have forced such patients off those meds, this article shows such an approach is ill-conceived + harmful

4.9% of people whose rx #opioid was stopped died of OD, while 1.75% of those whose rx continued did. Stopping COT was associated w/ 3 x the risk of fatal OD. Most patients have at least 1 MD-initiated discontinuation. James et al. Jnl Gen Int Med 2019
