I have been taking pain meds for about 20 years and I have a physical dependence on them. I have neuropathy in both legs pretty bad and nothing works but pain meds.

i switched to Opana er 80 mg x2 about a year ago. I just moved to Idaho and the Drs are freaking out I'm on such a high dose and now want to taper me down only because they are uncomfortable with my high dose.

first off my pain is going to increase but I believe she's tapering me down too fast. I'll take 80 mg in the morning but she cut my evening dose in half to 40 mg. that's a 25% decrease and you should only taper 10 to 20% max.

is this going to put me in withdrawals along with my pain getting out of control again?
