In my opinion... opioid tolerance

Mark Collen. J Pain Palliat Care Pharmacother. 2007.

Abstract

A commentary on the problem of tolerance to opioids is presented from the perspective of a person with chronic nonmalignant pain. The writer challenges the position of many clinicians and professional societies that tolerance to opioid analgesia usually is not a barrier to effective pain management. Implications for clinicians are presented.
