thanks for your post....i understand about giving advice but if anyone could give some suggestions as to what they maybe have done in the past or something similar to me....i really want to be off all meds but no way i can quit everything all at once....ugh so frustrating....and looking for doctors is so hard and then they have to get you in which usually takes a while.....i really feel i can do this on my own...i do....and that's prob what i'll have to do....thanks for everything.....

Thanks for your reply...I never wanted to be on all these meds and never knew the problems it could cause...i thought the doctor knows best...well I guess its not true...and now he's gone and yes I'll be the one to suffer for this....prayers needed please...I'm doing ok at the cutting down so I'm happy about that...just don't know what to do for the detox part...and if i cut back really low will I still have the detox part??? so many questions need all kinds of help from everyone...

wow Hope that is a complicated situation.  i agree with the poster that said you should go to another doctor.  can you try finding someone you like better, someone who seems more qualified to help you and more interested in your sitch?  it sounds like you really have a good handle on your taper, in terms of going down in gradual amounts, but it is complicated by the fact that you have some legit pain issues.  yes, it is sad that some in the medical field really do not want to get involved in addressing issues about addiction, but again, you seem to have excellent perception and perspective about what you need to do and how to do it.  i am sorry you are feeling so alone and frustrated.  more ppl should come around tomorrow after the holiday.  good luck hope you are feeling all right.

We actually aren't allowed to give tapering advice here. It's against the rules as we aren't doctors and don't know your entire medical history. I suggest going to a different doctor or go into the ER and tell them your situation and that your doctor can't help you taper. They might have better resources. Good luck! It's so much better being clean!
