Yes, the case was there were to many doctors and to many medications, I have stopped taking all but 2, Effexor and Sercquel. I was seeing a urologist as I had a kidney disease he had me on morphine and ciproflax, my neurologist was for my daily migraines, he had me on Amitriptyline, imitrex, and percocet, my family doctor had me on Anti-Inflammatory, zopiclone, Tylenol #3, serc, and Effexor, then I became agoraphobic and couldn’t leave my house so my physiatrist had me taking the Sercquel, ativan, and clorazapam. I was a mess, so my physiatrist right away took me off the Tylenol #3, percocet, morphine and Insisted with my urologist to complete the surgery on my kidneys, then the doctor took away the imitrex, the ativan (gradually) and of course the zopiclone, which led to me not needing the serc for vertigo. And all the while he Increased my Effexor, was still taking the Sercquel but he upped that dose, took the clorazapam away, which left me with effexor(300mg) sercquel(150mg) and the Amitriptyline (as needed for the headaches). And after all that I am very impressed with myself and my physiatrist for getting me off all these pills, with no withdrawals and no relapses. I can walk tall now and don’t fall over when I walk and I am on regular outings for about 2 hours at a time. So all in all the only things that I take now are Effexor, Sercquel, Amitriptyline, and cigarettes. I don’t touch booze, never had, nor have I ever tried any street drug! so that’s the story, LOL :bouncing: :wave:
