What is Less Prescribed about?

Less Prescribed is an awareness platform dedicated to exploring how new opioid-prescribing policies have changed pain care in the United States. Our goal is to give a voice to patients affected by reduced access to pain medication, while also acknowledging the challenges doctors face in balancing compassion and compliance.

Does Less Prescribed promote or oppose opioid use?

Neither. We are not advocates for or against any specific medication. Our purpose is to promote balanced, evidence-based, and compassionate pain care — where patients with legitimate needs can receive appropriate treatment without stigma or unnecessary suffering.

Are the patient stories real?

Yes. The stories we share are based on real experiences from individuals living with chronic pain and navigating today’s healthcare system. Some names or details may be changed to protect privacy, but every story reflects genuine experiences and emotions.

Is Less Prescribed a medical or clinical resource?

No. We are not a medical provider and do not offer medical advice, diagnoses, or treatment. Our goal is education and awareness. Anyone experiencing medical issues or seeking pain treatment should consult a licensed healthcare professional.
