Have You Lost Someone With Pain to Suicide?
Transitioning off of opioids have shown a connection.
“Imagine a national debate after several airplanes have crashed, with no one ever having done a crash-site investigation. That’s where we are in relation to these deaths by suicide after prescription opioid medicines stop.”
There has been a wave of suicides that come after prescription opioid pain medicines are stopped. Dr. Stefan Kertesz co-authored a statistical analyses of these deaths, published in 2020 in British Medical Journal. After getting this information to the FDA – they issued a warning in 2019.
However, neither our scientific report nor the FDA can explain these tragedies. We have a statistical signal, but no explanations beyond speculation.
Starting in early 2019, Dr. Kertesz’s team began crafting proposals to do this. The team is called CSI:OPIOIDs.
If you feel you are at risk for taking your own life seek help right away.
