Yearning to be addiction-free ASAP but asking for helpful ideas

Hi @stressedmesseddepressed, I merged the 2 discussions you started about tapering off duloxetine, clonazepam and marijuana into one discussion, bringing everyone together around the topic instead of separated in 2 different places. Thank you for starting this discussion. It is important and I appreciate the support and tips you've been getting from other members. In my opinion ASAP (as soon as possible) and tapering may be in conflict with one another. Tapering is important and requires patience. I like Gary's suggestion of tapering one drug at a time, and most definitely with the guidance of your health care provider.

@stressedmesseddepressed I made this suggestion as I just recently made the mistake of trying to lower my opiates as I was tapering off klonopin; BIG mistake. When I need to do something like this, I would rather feel horrible for a couple of weeks than just "not too good" over and over with every step down, but that is my foolish impatience and is not the healthy way to go because the w/d symptoms for benzos and opiates can be very dangerous to the point of death. My prayer is that you will succeed with as little pain as possible. Gary

I take TWO POISON drugs for my RA. My kids hate that I am doing it. My Grand Daughter works at Scripps and she is the one who called it poison. They will give me poison but no pain meds. Anything would be better than the reaction I am getting from the RA drugs
