Please post on the substance abuse forum here; it is a wonderful support.  Lots of help in getting off pain meds and also tips on making withdrawal easier.  Are you abusing your meds or just tired of being on them?  How will you deal with your pain when you come off them?  I am not addicted but hated being on meds and came off totally without much help from the doctor.  I had to go back on narcotics recently because my blood pressure was way too high due to the pain.  If your doctor is supportive, there are meds to make detoxing more comfortable.
