Hi Payne, I think I would call the doctors office tomorrow and let them know about all the confusion on their part. What are you suppose to be taking and advise them again about your concerns. I know when I had neck surgery, I was surprised how addicted I was in about 6 week, wasn't fun getting off, I had side effects and stomach aches and so forth. I'm glad your feeling better and trying to cut back, but Payne be careful, because the side effects can get ahold of you before you know it. Such as diarrhea, headaches, depression and others. Just take it slow, you'll get their.
