Just a side note. I too take an opiod and it is a difficult problem. The new rules are really difficult to deal with. I guess it will take a congressman having to deal directly with the issue.
My doctor has just given me two prescriptions to take on the road. They have notes to not fill before certain dates.
We are in the same place you are. How can you be sure that the Rx in one state is good in another?
This whole thing is a nightmare. I once figured out that there are seven bureaucracies with their own rules that have to be met to get the drugs we need.

I am retired VA. I helped institute the electronic medical record at the VA. We started in 1996. We took care of people in just your position. Call the patient advocate at your Boise hospital and tell them to help you out. If you cannot get satisfaction you may have to visit the nearest VA with a pharmacy while on the road or get the MD who is your primary provider to write three, thirty day RX's. Then you should be able to walk into any drug store EXCEPT IN NEW YORK STATE and get the RX filled. Tramadol is not very expensive.
Sounds right, but the VA pharmacist told me the VAs are note connected. She's probably referring to the Rx end.
