Jo55 - thank you.

I have no choice right now, I will certainly try the doctor's plan. I am really blessed that I do not seem to have an addiction to the Avinza. I was at 180mg a day at one time, then dropped to 90 overnight, then took a few months to get to 60, then a few months to get to 30mg and so on. My wife is worried about seizures, but I really don't like this stuff. I used it strictly to fight pain. I have not had any problems so far, but the last 30mg are scary. I remember the withdrawal feelings (as I sit here) and do not look forward to it.

I sleep on a Ventilator, with oxygen, so ........ I hope the meds help.

I was not sure I posted this in the right forum, thank you for the suggestion. I will search over there, then I might post my questions again. Or, if you want, you are welcome to move this thread over there. Your choice ... and thanks again....
