@yellowmoon Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, a place to give and get support.
You have already connected with members such as @sears and members like @kevk74 @doorman @jimk849 @cim37343 @elwooodsdad @dryrun50 @cb772 @mariajean03 have discussed this topic in the recent past.
You have are taping off of Xanax and Lortab very quickly and that sounds extremely difficult. Do you think you are suffering unnecessarily? Have you due to tapering too quickly? Have you discussed the side effects with your provider?

Hi Erika and others
Yes I am suffering a great deal. It’s getting too much. Today was the worst since the beginning. Perhaps I am tapering off two meds too quickly as I am starting to realize. I don’t have a provider helping me at this moment. I am trying to line up some solid help
If I can find it. I know I am trying to do too much, too fast. It’s very painful and I am fearful. The pain clinic wants patients off one or the other and they don’t seem to have a program to get and taper off meds. The Xanax is provided to me by another doctor that is a Mental health provider. I have an appointment with him in twelve days.
Come up with a plan I can handle hopefully. I may have to add in a bit more meds for now until I see him
He is not aware I started already on my own.
Do you think that would be appropriate at this time to adjust a bit more meds as I don’t think I have a choice
I had no idea what I was up against.
Thanks for your advice and encouragement I am open to all suggestions.....from anyone that wishes to comment
