I don't know how things are in other parts of the world, but here patients also need to be concerned/worry about tolerance. Even though opioids have no theoretical upper dosage limit, doctors are becoming leary of prescribing ever-higher doses as tolerance rears its ugly head. Rotation works for some—unfortunately not for everyone.
