Re: “Obituary: Megan Angelina Webbley, 1988-2019”

I am so sorry for your loss. As a medical provider there is no way we can know who will become dependent or addicted to opiates or not. When a patient is in pain we feel obligated to treat that pain. However we need to be responsible to give the least amount for the least amount of time to control the worst of the pain and also use ibuprofen and other non opiates for pain. Im very conservative and encouage the use of analgesics but that isnt always enough. I inherited patients from a provider who retired who were on high doses of opiates and benzodiazepines. Most have switched successfully to suboxone and ibuprofen and other non opiate pain meds. And have reduced the amount of benzos significantly or completely discontinued its use. Many of the providers I know and work with feel as I do and we are trying to use opiates as little as possible. There is a DNA test that identifies which medications will work the best for a person including pain meds and so much more. It helps so we take the guess work out of prescribing medications and what will work the best including potential side effects, interactions etc. It has been a life saver for my patients literally. Please ask your provider about this test. Im happy to help you locate a provider who offers this in their practice.
