how to find doctor

How do you find a doctor to help you... I need some one to help me with this hi anxiety while I taper down. I am using morphine 120 mg a day 30 mg of percs per day...I also take vicodin..this is my real problem I need to get off the vicodin and just live with my perc and morphine for a while... But the anxiety is so bad... I need something for it while I quit the vics...

For the anxiety - speak to your doctor about going on actual anti-anxiety meds or anti-depressents which generally have anti-anxiety properties in them.
Forgive me if I'm asking a stupid question but... if you're taking vics, percs and morphine - why do you need to taper the vicoden? Why not just stop taking it? Considering you're on other opiates you wouldn't suffer actual wds if you just stopped taking them. Worst case you just wouldn't feel high as a kite. Of course the mental side of that would still surface but physically you wouldn't even notice. Did I miss something?

It is called tolerance ..... one opiate trait.  After you have been taking them for awhile your standard dose wont do a thing to you. To achieve even the same effect takes twice as many pills.  And eventually they will not do a thing..At that point you will be doing the pills just to keep from getting sick...And no amount of pills will give you an effect.  You may take enough to obtain respiratory arrest but still not have a buzz.   That is called diminishing returns.  You better get smart really fast or you will be in the same position. This is no joke. I can take a half dozen 10mg hydros with no affect whatsoever.............

How are people able to take that many vic's at one time?   I take 1 and then an hour or two later 1 more...but some of these people that take 12 -15 like you or some people take even more....aren't you so high that you are almost passed out or out of it totally?  I'm just perplexed as to how your bodies can handle that much at one time without killing you??   I'm addicted as well and probably the most I would ever take at one time would be 3 b/c I would be afraid as to what it would do to me if I did anymore than that.
What is your experience like taking that many?  I know that I have to ween myself off...but it's sooo darn hard...b/c they make me feel like I can function through the day...but I know that they are robbing me of my soul...plain and simple as that.

about 12-15 I will cut down to 8 today no trouble yet we wil see as the day goes on...
but tomorrrow I will be out....I think most of my anxiety is mental I have only been abusing the vics for two weeks... I have allot more to say I will in a little bit...I probably need a hole new thread and tell you all the story from start to finish
