I have been on Methadone (115mg currently) for addiction to Opioids. Opioid that Doctors prescribed for my horrible R/A related pain. (I had surgeries due to it). 
Once I said I was having trouble with my 6 daily 10 mg percocet, 30mg x8 Morphine XR and 15mg morphine instant release the doctor cut me off and chewed me out. I wasn't even abusing it. I just felt "doped up" and wanted to stop ✋️ the morphine. 

Then I was put on Xanax and finally clonopin. I am taking extra clonopin because the DEA and the CDC threatened to revoke their licenses if they didn't reduce schedule drug dosing by 50%. 
I found a great methadone clinic and it worked great on my pain. 
Can you get me off benzodiazepines?
