Arthur is correct. Never withdrawl on your own. Please seek counsel from your Dr. It's fact you can die from opiate withdrawl. You have to be stepped down gradually. My sister takes methadone and just stopped taking it and ended up in the hospital. It is my understanding that methadone is the hardest of the opiate pain meds to withdrawl from.I have been taking morphine for 5 years now. 9 abdominal surgeries with three being major kidney surgeries and my insides are world war three. The issue inside is ARD,(adhesion related disorder ). Now Dr. is trying to decide if I have MS as well. Yipes
Good luck to all of you.
