My pain management doctor that I had for over a decade retired. I am treated for MS/RA snd and soinal stenosis. I have been on 40 mg oxy/day for the last 10-12 years. The oxy doesn't really work very well anymore. I also take baclofen, tizanidine, meloxicam, amitriptyline, xanax, lidocaine patches. New pain doc started about 6 months ago. She hasn't pushed me to change my drugs, but she has talked to me about medical cannibis a few times now. I got a huge run around from two pharmacists at two different places trying to fill my January script for oxy. I went for epidural injections today. I told her I am ready to try the transition. I am scared about tapering off of the oxy after so many years of being on it, but I am thinking that I may be able to get away from so many pills everyday. Does anyone have any experience with this transition? I live in a place where medical marijuana was just made available last year, and I have 2 of the 8 conditions it's approved for here.
