I think most strong pain medications need to be slowly eliminated from a patients routine. That is if they are not in pain any longer. That means to very gradually withdraw and cut back on medications over a span of a few weeks. This can be dangerous to all of a sudden stop taking without medical advice. Im glad to hear you will be running all of this by your doctors.

If this helps, Ive been told by a couple of my doctors a patient who is truly in pain and takes medication to alleviate the pain is not a drug addict. Your docs may suggest pain management specialists to help if you have trouble managing the pain without medication. Im not exactly sure what these types of specialists will do to help but some members ahve used them successfully.

Best wishes!


PS.... Compazine can cause restless leg syndrome. It happened to me and made me pace the floor even when too exhausted to walk. It was awful!
