Not able: To comment . Do not know what you are being treated for and what has been tried to even reduce your meds much less go up. Less is always better so you and your docs have to have that serious conversation . An outsider can't really help especially with no info.

You are on: Very high amount of narcotic and are addicted to it. I do not recommend going any higher, the addiction is making you think you need more, there are too many accidental deaths from taking too much narcotic.
