See another doctor. That is quite a number of drugs you are using. Dont try to cold turkey it. Dont beat yourself up about your drug problem. If it were easy to be free of them, no one would be addicted. Your only other alternative would be rehab. Talk to your doctor and see what is the best. Good luck.
