salsalate,tramadol,trazodone, then you add amitripyline,vicodin then you add voltaren but never discontuine any of the med's. but when you complain of sleeping to much they are quick to say you have another condition that causes you to sleep. you tell a different dr and their comment is well you don't have to take them. how do dr's expect you to put your care in their hands when they speak with such forked. tounges. is there an agency that you can report such action to.

You first go to another doctor! There are alot of doctors out there that will listen. This one sounds like he/she is over perscribing medications.
The agency you need to contact if you think the doctor is doing something wrong is the AMA (American Medicial Association).

Well, there is always the College of Physicians but I doubt it would get you anywhere--doc's prescribe pills, that's just the way it is. I'm going through a similar situation....doc gives me one pill for one thing and two other pills for the side effects from the first pill and then another pill for the side effects...I'm feel for you. I finally stopped everything because it was just too much, and I called a Naturopathic doctor. They concentrate on making your body function properly to fix what's wrong rather than put band-aids, like pills, over the problem. I don't know what you're medical issues are but it's working for me. And everything I take is herbal so no side effects! Give it some thought.....and take care of yourself! :)

Talk to your pharmacist about it and ask them to call the Dr. I am a pharmacy technician and I see this happen all the time. Doctors dont like patients telling them what to do. explain everything to your phamacist. a good pharmacist will help you. if they dont I would look into going to a small independant pharmacy they have more care for thier patients in my opinion. I have worked for both.

you can report them to your insurance company and i believe to the state in which they practice.
i do not know what is wrong with you, but that is an aweful amount of medication. trazodone is probably the safest there is in your list of meds.
if i knew what they had you diagnosed as, i might be able to help.
