Avatar m tn Aloha To all who were kind enough to answer my question on withdrawal from morphine, I want to thank you for your help. I have gotten some help from an acupuncture doctor and with his help I was able to not have any withdrawal symptoms at all. This is something any one ging through drug withrawals should consider since it is painless and works.

Avatar n tn Well it's been 22 hrs since I've taken anything for pain. I was on OpanaER and Morphine tabs. I took this to withdrawl off Oxycodone 90mgs evry 4hrs and Dilaude 16 mg evry 4hrs. I took them for 1 week. I cried, screamed and I was so emotional. Now I'm getting off the opana and morphine. I got cloidine, Xanax, something for my stomach, Soma for the spasms in ur muscle, and something for sleep.So far so good. You can feel the withdrawls even with the opana and morphine but not as bad.
Avatar f tn i want to know what to expect when i stop taking my prescription morphine extended release i.v., and start taking it orally again. i have been taking my immediate release pills i.v. for a year. the extended release for less time, approximately eight to nine months. will i experience withdrawal symptoms? i know that no one can say for sure, but there must be someone out there who can speak to this situation that i am in.
Avatar n tn ve been using a lot because I already have a high tolerance to opiates, what I wanted to know is if withdrawal symtoms of Morphine are any worse than Tramadol, because I think I may need to progress to that eventually. I have permanent nerve damage.
Avatar f tn My mother is currently being weaned from Morphine that she was prescribed for back pain for many months. Do any drugs prescribed for Morphine withdrawal cause slurred speech? When I speak to my mom on the phone, she sounds like a drunk person every time I talk to her. This has been going on for weeks now. She swears she's not drinking alcohol and says it's the drugs she's been taking for the withdrawal. Any info is greatly appreciated!
Avatar m tn I have another question for you regarding morphine withdrawal. I am now scheduled for a relatively minor but painful surgery (they tell me) in my abdomen to repair 1 or maybe 2 hernias that I got when I had ascites 4 years ago. My abdomen basically extended until it burst in 1 or 2 places. I almost died. Without going into a lot of detail...this happened because I had cirrhosis of the liver. Why I had cirrhosis nobody knows....I certainly didn't drink THAT much..but whatever...
1148698 tn?1261715542 Your Dr may want to give you asome type of benzodiazapine concurrently with elavil to alleviate the anxiousness associated with withdrawal. I have never heard of Elavil ALONE being used to treat withdrawal symptoms. Elavil is one of the older antidrepressants. QUESTION: Is your Dr. an Addiction Specialist? Has he mentioned Suboxone to treat the Withdrawal Syndrome? You may want to mention this to him as I know of no use for Elavail other than for depression.
Avatar f tn How long does the withdrawal last. I was also taking morphine sulphate- alot like 800 mg daily on top of the fent and i stopped that so I think I am withdrawaling off that also.
Avatar f tn I get concerned when I hear you are shooting dope to help with morphine withdrawal and then taking pills to help with heroin withdrawal. At some point, you are going to have to stop all drugs...I assume that is your goal. You are going to be uncomfortable, but it will be over in a few days.
Avatar m tn Hello Rocketmentor, Please don't think that I am insinuating you are having a substance issue....but I suggest that you post your question in the Substance Abuse Forum. I suggest this ONLY because they have much more experience with withdrawal and medications in this matter. I am not sure which one is more difficult to withdrawal from...as I think all our systems are a bit different. Here's the link: http://www.medhelp.
Avatar n tn I was kicked off the methadone programe for take clonazapam I was on Methadone program for year and 1/2 so my methadone doctor kicked me out of the program and did not wean me off so my family doctor put me on morphine so I would not go thru withdrawal how long should it take me to do this and be withdrawal free
Avatar f tn help me, or is this normal (and not dangerous) for methadone withdrawal? IS it methadone withdrawal or an adverse reactions to the Morphine? I want to go to the E.R., but my husband is 100% convinced it would be a waste of time, and since I don't drive, I am at his mercy. Thanks for reading!
Avatar n tn I am on morphine 100 mg at night then one in the am. I also take morphine 15 mg four times a day. I am shaking and my abdomen is killing me right now. My blood pressure is very high right now should I go to the hospital?
Avatar f tn Just a guess why they are not helping your withdrawal symptoms is they are quite a low relative dose compared to 150mgs of morphine/day. This currently sounds like more a transition question than a no more opiates one, correct me if I'm wrong by the way. I'd suggest that you stabilise for a few weeks after coming off the morphine and assess your pain levels when your body has re-wired a bit before going to the pain clinic.
Avatar m tn HI I think your feeling the methadone withdrawal its post withdrawal can last a few months it would be great to be narcotic free but the patches should be bringing some realeaf the patches are hard to ween off its ezer if your on hydros or percs then taper off from ther or just pull the plug on all of it and go threw the withdrawal but ill beet its the methadone messing with you it took me a good 90 day to start to feel right after I detox off the stuff hang in there better days are ahead good l
Avatar f tn Im on hour 36 of my heroin withdrawal and i was going to take a smaller doseage or morphine sulfate maybe 30 mgs but i need to know if it will restart my withdrawal symptoms or not?
Avatar f tn My doctor a year later completely took me off the Tramadol and replaced it with Morphine ER with Percocet for break through pain and I had no withdrawal symptoms from stopping the Tramadol at all!!! By the way, when I stopped the Tramadol completely, I was taking the same amount as you per day. The amount of Fentanyl you are on is stronger than the starting dose of Morphine that I was on when I stopped taking Tramadol.
Avatar f tn fibromyalgia but I am going to have back surgery for stenosis and want to stop my narcotic meds. I have morphine cr 45mg 3x/day which I asked to change due to side effects. Dr put me on Oxycodone 20mg 4x/day. After my back surgery recuperation I want to stop the meds. Which one should I be on for an easier withdrawal. I am scared because I have been on this for ages. When I have the surgery I can ask the dr to use the med that would be easier for me to withdraw so what do you think.
