Thanks Everyone! I have to admit that I'm nervous and already a bit discouraged. When I would be in rehab it worked because I was on a tight schedule with no chance of getting my hands on anythings. Doing this on my own is going to be difficult because my husband also does them and is prescribed them for his back so it's not like I can just rid my house of them and go from there. I've talked to my doctor about it and from what I understand (doctors confuse me sometimes) it'll be hard for me to just stop all at once because my regular heart medication wont work as great so he suggested trying to cut back slowly and then starting back up on my old medicine. Just feeling a bit overwhelmed and it doesn't help that I take them to quiet my thoughts, get rid of my pain, and sleep. It's hard to see this as a benefit, but I know I need to stop.
