Hi!  You need to talk with your doctor about getting off the meds.  That is some pretty strong medicine to be taking all at once.  Please be very careful.  Even if your doctor won't help you that may be too much medicine for you.  That is why you are depressed and tired!  I would tell my doc that I wanted OFF the meds  and get his advice on how to do it!  There are also suggestions in the health pages on the top right and some suggestions members can give you too!

Good luck!

Do you need the meds or areyou taking them because you haveto because you areadicted you need to talk to your doc and tell him or her whats going on and they can help you i think you said2 yrs that i not a really long time so maybe he can slowly decrease your dose or something like that .And alway remember wo we will always answer to and thats god tell him and ask him for help you would be amazed @what he can really do i know he sent me my husband not a doubt in my mind he is the very best man ever no one is perfect we are all flawed but i must say i think my husband is the PERFECTman for me and he has been so great thru all of thiscrap with me and stuck by my side100percent im sure there have been times he wanted to throw his hands up but he didnt. i wish you the best of luck.

Please talk with your doctor and have them help you off these.  They are very strong opiates and it is better to be safe.  We will be here to support you....You dont have to keep living like this.......sara
