Hello @beausonge Nice to e-meet you here. I am Scott and while I am no type of medical professional, I would say this may not be the proper forum for the type of highly specific medical advice you are seeking and that you need.

My wife was on opioids for more than 30 years so I can only say it could well be quite dangerous to self-adjust your medications without the direction or knowledge of your physician.

I wish you all the best.

Hi Scott,

I agree I should not be doing this on my own but I seem to be left in a lurch as my provider is gone until next week. I am doing a "best guess" until I can talk to my provider next week. I do seem to be doing MUCH better than what she had me scheduled. I was not seeking specific advice but looking for links to written guidelines - like 10% per week per whatever.

Was your wife able to get off opioids (thank you for the spelling!). I just recently had a breast reduction and it eliminated pain from my waist up and so I am hopeful about this. I would be very happy if I could get off of them! I just want to do it safely.
