Talk to them: Your doctor will happily wean you off the medicine if they are it effective, or worse causing you harm. Simply ask them to reduce or eliminate those medicines that are upsetting to you. It is very common for doctors to try to use a variety of different medicines at the same time in order to block the multiple roads that pain takes to reach your brain from the area that hurts.
