This is I.T. (Inconvenient Truth)!!! – Weaning off the Pain Medicines

Taking pain medicines for a long period of time can be difficult to stop cold turkey and we don’t suggest that for anyone. With the new guidelines for doctors I felt the need to address a concern that I have about how some doctors are forcing patients to quit cold turkey without thinking about the consequences to those patients who may suffer withdrawals or other health related issues. How do we /you talk to your doctor that is about to force you to quit taking pain medicines to help you wean off the drugs in a safe way without having withdrawals? Is setting a realistic time frame a good idea to ensure your safety and wellbeing? Let’s talk about it and find a workable solution!!!!
