T-
I wouldn't let my husband drive on narcotics, so he went off them 'cold turkey' regardless of the fact that his instructions stated that he should speak to the doctor before reducing the dose. I left him alone and slept on the couch. So, you are not the only one.

Pain management has a lot of facets, and I think that seeing a specialist has its merits. My guess is that you really need some of your meds - but as to which - and at what strength - is for a doctor to work out with you. One of my friends - who is a pain management specialist - told me that it frequently takes a while to get the dosages and kinds of pain meds right. She is a good 'listener' - an important quality in any doctor, and one that you really want to search for as a pain management specialist.
Best wishes - and hope you did get some sleep. I find that white noise of some sort helps me.
