Need advise for detoxing

[Jonivv63]

Hi, I've been on pain meds for 15 years. I really have pain issue's, but realize they've become worse. because of medication addiction. (bodies use to always being on meds ) I really don't know what my real pain level is anymore. I know it's there, feel my RA and many other nerve issue's.  I can't take it anymore i live in Florida, so all i do is worry i won't get my meds. because the drug stores don't have them lots of problems here . OOK now i have 30 8mg Suboxones, is it possible for me to withdraw from the meds. I know the pain will still be a problem, but maybe can be handled with other meds not as strong,  I take some like plaquenil, neurontin etc for my pain. But the problem is my 200mg morphine sulfate . Please i welcome any advise, i want my life back, as much as is possible. I'm 50 female with 4 adult children, my 2yr old Granddaughter. I'm sure i left stuff out. Any questions please ask..  Glad to finally see a site that isn't all about getting high!!!!!!. Thank you J

Tapering is the best way to go about it. There are several non Narcotic meds you can take to lesson the withdrawals one is clonidine it will help with the anxiety like symptoms Potassium supplements can help with the RLS just be ready to feel like you have the worst flu. Tapering will help with all of the symptoms but no getting around them
