Hello, Jose! How are you?

It is completely normal for your body to eventually become tolerant to a medication that you've been taking for a long period of time, your doctor is aware of that. It happens to everyone, sooner or later, it's actually impressive that they've worked for you for so many years.

But it is inevitable that someone will eventually need to switch to a different medication or require a higher dosage.

The FDA classifies this medication as being a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

It's best to be honest with your doctor about the situation, but to avoid being perceived as a drug seeker, don't ask for any specific medication, or dosage to replace it. Let them suggest something.

Does anyone else have any advice or ideas to offer?
