Case No. CV 14-9405-SP (C.D. Cal. Mar. 1, 2016)

Summary

rejecting plaintiff's argument that, because she took more opioid pain medications than recommended, this "overindulgence" lent credence to her complaints of pain; finding that the ALJ drew "a very different and equally supported inference," i.e., that this failure to follow treatment recommendations meant her symptoms were not as serious as she alleged
