Hi, welcome to health care magic forum.
With such Drugdependant drugs, it is very difficult to come off the drug. For some drugs tapering only may not be sufficient for , some other placibo, or a less power full drug should be added and and tapered it at the end.
So i advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis and tapering the dose.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.
