Friends,I'm looking for some advice. My withdrawals seem never-ending. Maybe it is my own fault-?-I'm not sure.
I'll give you a brief history of my drug use. Maybe someone can help me understand.
I'll start from the beginning but try to be brief. I've been on doctor prescribed MS Contin many years,15 yrs. at least. For most of those,I took two 60 mg. pills a twice a day or 240mg. total. Three years ago mandatory reductions began. My doctor decreased it to three 60mg. pills/180 total mg. and later again to 120mg. The goal was not to quit (I'm in a lot of back/neck pain) but to reach the 100mg. morphine equivalent per day regulations.
Currently I have taken some control over my meds in the hope of gaining better pain relief. My plan is to further cut back my dose and to loose some tolerance.
What I have done is this: I have reduced my dose to 30mg. MS Contin per day and supplemented with Kratom to control withdrawals. This has been going on for over 5 weeks. I still have withdrawal symptoms;sleep is bad and my nose runs like a faucet every morning.
Will this continue unless I quit completely? Am I doing something wrong using Kratom to help? It does work well.
-Thanks for anything.
