Hey. Ive been stuck for a long time on a low oral dose of opiates. trying to get off of em. Background: sustained some injuries, mostly immobilized for two years. Was on and off various opioids/kratom. Want to kick em for good. Now, I've done this a handful of times, but never quite in this way. So, for the last 4 months I've been on either - 12mg hydro IR morning/evening. went a little higher, now stabilized at 15mg morphine ER morning/night. My question is mainly this - is it wise/useful to continue this taper w/the morphine ER? It SEEMS like it should make tapering and getting off easier, but then again, it is also getting me used to tiny amounts of opiates at a more constant plasma level... So, has anyone done kicks, specifically w morphine and can compare ER/IR formulations? Also, what should I expect coming off 30mg total ER morphine a day? It's been about a month at that level. My previous experience was primarily heroin withdrawal, from high IV dose, so I don't know if it's a good reference at all for what I'm about to go through. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
