Hi,I have complex regional pain syndrome and I am wish to get off of my narcotic -- kadian. One doctor tells me that the best way to do it is to go incredibly slow -- taking possibly a year, and to maybe switch to using liquid methadone so that I can titrate into really small doses. My other doctor tells me that it is better to do it faster -- like over a period of a couple of months. Does anybody have any experience with titrating off of narcotics? I have gone off of a short acting narcotic before, but kadian is a long-acting one. I am on about 120 mg a day, I've been on that dose for the last two or three years and have been on the drug itself for about four years. I would be very grateful for any advice. This is my first posting and I'm glad to be here in the community. My hands are afflicted and in the past few months I Acquired Dragon Naturally Speaking and am just now been able to explore the web a little bit more. Thanks for your help.
