Hi Teresagr
You are in the right place for starting your journey!
I think the GPs are stuck between a rock an a hard place.They want to help with pain,but unfortunately they cause soo many problems to lots of us. They just do not see all the nonsense that goes with them.
Day 3 is where it all starts,imo, however if you have stuck to the 60mg a day i do not think you will be in for a really hard time.Have you thought about a taper,ie drop a tablet a week.Will be alot easier i would’ve thought.
Good luck with whatever you decide,you can and will do this!
Stay strong ????????????????????????????????????????????????
