I can't speak for why every doctor everywhere stops Rxing pain meds but we have had notices put in the paper when it occurs, the DEA has posted signs in the mentioned doc's offices stating that they would no longer be prescribing Class III's from this location, and the local pharmacy's have the names of doctor's who are restricted in what they can prescribe. Then ALL the doctors have great big DEA orange signs in their offices stating anyone needing ongoing treatment with narcotics will have to see a pain management specialist, or Class II and Class III pain meds will no longer be able to be distributed by General Practioners in the state of Mississippi.
