I as well have taken all of those narcs and didnt like it. I on my own regard did almost the same as you My doctors were not against it they just felt that this "one last pill" will be the fix everything pill. I did that three times before i got a permenat side effect (tardive dyskinesia) and started to feel mentaly disabled before i told myself enough. I took myself off all medication except mmj went in to see the doc a month later and other then the pain i was a picture of health.

I do have the occasional times where i have to use percocet on top of the mmj to feel remotely better and that has been seeming to be a little more recent lately.

When i took myself all the nureo meds i felt born again. I could speak clearly, walk straight, and have sensation in my hands. It is a horrible feeling not feeling alive.
