Wow you are trying them all. I wonder if any of these well trained doctors feel bad about giving the liteweight Tramadol. After all we Seniors are responsible for DRUGS getting out of control. Not the young drug users. Tomorrow i go to my primsry dr. I will line up my pills and ask which pills i can quit. Afterall, doctors are useless. They can give you the wrong drugs. Think about it

Hi @oregongirl, Good for you for re-assessing with your primary doctor the medications you are on. It's good to review every few years as we age and our needs change. I heartily disagree with the statement "all doctors are useless" however. Similarly it is incorrect to say doctors hold all the answers. But together patients can work together with their doctors to be a good care team. And patients also have the right to get a second or even third opinion.

I'll be interested in hearing what you learn tomorrow and if you discover medications you no longer need to take. Good luck.
