Thank god. Ending these flexibilities would be disastrous for my patients on buprenorphine. Many would die. The DEA should be lauded for this decision, but it would be even better to make the flexibilities permanent.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

No surprises here. Babies exposed to SSRIs in breastmilk show no additional cognitive difficulties. SSRIs always have been and remain safe, effective, and the gold standard for the treatment of depression and anxiety, even pregnant and breastfeeding.

Did you know that if you forgo sleep and stay up all night watching the news and live-tweeting you become paranoid and delusional? Doesn’t help that Trump is sundowning. I was under the apparently mistaken impression that dementia units didn’t allow patients to have cellphones.

This is horrible. Irsay was a national mascot for recovery. It’s tragic to see him go out this way. A reminder that buprenorphine removes opioid cravings, ends withdrawal, and allows those dependent on opioids to live a productive, happy life.

It is my experience that nobody, and I mean nobody, uses kratom (and the more potent 7-0’s) in moderation. It’s expensive, as addictive as any other opioid, it’s dangerous to detox from. It should not be sold in gas stations.

Kratom products are sold at gas stations across the country. But they can be highly addictive — and getting hooked can have devastating consequences.
