Who told you tapering off
morphine is dangerous?
Morphine is an
opiate, like other pain medications. It is NOT dangerous unless there are severe underlying health conditions such as unmanaged high blood pressure or unmanaged heart conditions. Millions taper off opiates with no issues. Even in a sudden stoppage of opiates, in general, it is uncomfortable, can cause sweating, chills, diarrhea, muscle spasms, feeling flu like for 3-5 days, with day 4 and 5, feeling improvement in symptoms.
