I do have experience as I am going off morphine as we speak. I had a problem with oxy right after my surgery as I took alot after while healing, then resumed my morphine as I could not do it cold turkey. I am doing it with my pain management dr. He has dropped just 30 mgs a month, I was on 120mg of morphine a day. I do expreience sweating and chills. Not sure it is all due to the reduction of medication however. I do not feel bad. I reduse again on the 15th. I would go to the PM guy and get him to help you to step down. This seems to be working for me. ginnie
