I refused anymore long acting pain meds as I'm sick of narcotics and being treated like a lab rat.

I'm at the point of having them taper me off pain med. So, going thru WD from my one pain med because they mailed it to me unsigned and terrible WD and my fm dr decides to not taper me off the Xanax for sleep and slowly start me on the clon.

Our drs rnt what they used to be and I understand tht the Bon and board of narcotics etc have made it very difficult for drs to write the meds uve been on and worked really good. Thts not good or safe to do but they do it anyway. I know this is my 1st night of taking it but drs r changing all my meds at once. At least with the Xanax I slept thru for at least. I've woken up 3 times unable to go bk to sleep. My dr decided to go ahead and stop the Xanax and put me on 2 mgs of clon. My dr due to my pain management dr said tht the new laws are saying u cannot be in Xanax and pain management to talk to my dr and have him slowly tapere off the Xanax and starte on low dose of clonazepam. I would be asleep before I knew it and most night get at least. I've been on Xanax 2 mgs at bedtime for insomnia.
