13 yrs ago had an auto accident, I thought I could taper down some on the amount of pain medicine (I was doing so well, I thought I should try).
1st taper was 40mg a day,,,I had no problems at all!
2nd taper 3 months later (August) it was 20mg a day,,,,,increased pain...quality of life down...miserable most of the time. Left messages for my Dr, he never returned.
3rd taper: I went to pick up prescription (expecting it to not be tapered) and my Dr. lowered it again by 20mg!
I am in so much pain. I also feel like I am having slight withdrawal symptoms, I feel depressed and discouraged.
Any advice?
