Hey Doc, I actually didn't mean what you wrote, brother. I hadn't read your response thru. Sorry if you thought I meant you. I meant people in your life who, when learning you are weaning down saying things like, "Well that's a low dose, what exactly is the problem here?" I heard that from a well-meaning friend. It drove me insane. She didn't have a clue about any of it and thought that getting off the last 5mg should have been easy. LOL

I've been in pain mgmt for years and I've heard all sorts of comments from well-meaning people that didn't amount to anything helpful. I'm sure you, and anyone dealing with pain, has heard all sorts of stuff like that, too. Have a great day friend.
