Über diesen Titel

What happens when the medication meant to save you becomes a trap? In this special debate-style episode of BrokeBackDoc, we tackle the complex reality of opioid use in chronic pain management. We explore both sides of the clinical aisle: the pragmatist argument for strictly controlled dispensing for end-stage patients, and the reformer argument for aggressive step-down strategies using alternative therapies like Ketamine, psilocybin, and alpha-2 agonists.

Dr. Yousuf Mahomed breaks down the biology of receptor up-regulation, how to spot the critical differences between tolerance, dependence, and abuse, and exactly what your next steps should be if you feel like you are losing control.
