Ask your doctor: You take a lot of medicine and have a number of difficult problems. The pain may be the controlling factor in trying to stop or reduce the amount of medicine. It may take as long as a month or a few days. I think the drawn out time of about three weeks is a better answer as it is a gradual reduction. Reduce in 75 mg twice a day per week Best wishes.
