Thanks for your reply, I had 2 responses to my comment, one person recommended a pharmacist to help me and you mentioned that I not go with a pharmacist. I appreciate the advice and will try to get this under control one way or another.
The physician then needs to learn how to wean and take it out of the hands of the pharmacist.....that's not where it belongs. Not sure that I understand that you want to wean off a particular medication but then need another one in assisting to do so. That seems kind of counter productive. If your physician is unable to help then seek the assistance of a pain management or psychiatrists assistance. If the pharmacist manages it he is doing so by practicing outside the scope of his legal practice!
