Your doctor SHOULD have given you a weaning schedule, and made sure that you had enough morphine in order to follow the schedule. Or else, he should have given you some lesser medications to allow you to get off the morphine, but doing it like you are sounds like it's just not working like it should be. You should NOT be in this much pain, and shouldn't be having such serious withdrawal symptoms.
When I weaned off ALL my meds, I didn't feel like YOU are feeling! In fact, I felt pretty good, but I had enough meds to do it, plus my doctor "had my back." So get back to your doc and have him give you a schedule and enough meds to see to it that you can get thru this with the LEAST amount of withdrawal symptoms!!
I wish you the very best of luck! It can be done if your doc is willing! God bless and please take care. Hugs, Lee  |
My Dr just had me wean off over one week. Because I was taking slow release capsules he said you can only taper it so much....you'd think he'd give me some that aren't slow release just for this purpose...???
Anyways, I'm almost a full 48 hours w/o any It can't possibly get much worse and If that's the case I should be able to endure...fingers crossed
