I hear you, cant wait to get off the drugs. I am switching between Soma and Relefin, as well as Robaxin and Tramadol for pain. The traditional narcotics dont help me with pain and would keep me out of work. Had to get off Darvocet and Soma in high doses on my first round of issues 10 years ago, body felt like crap for about 2 months.
