good job Krissy_123....I plan on being there myself because i CAN do this....i will deal with the pain somehow rather than being on the pills....idk at this moment how but somehow....i'm thinking that morphine 15mg isn't very much...at one point i was taking 3 30 mg tabs of morphine day plus in between that i was taking 3 10 mg Loratab between that....and trust me I still held down a job and a family so surely i can get off this stuff as low as i have gone now....i was reading some where that once you get lower than a pharmacy dose that the withdraw isn't bad...im praying I'm getting there...i was hurting a little bit ago and i did take 1 10mg percocet but for today I've done really good....i feel like anyway....thanks for talking with me i can't talk to anyone about this...so I'm depending on you guys to get me thru.....

So all you've taken is a 15mg morph and a 5mg perc today? I don't know how strong morph is,but sounds like a real low dose for a day. I can't answer how you feel through detox though? Ppl here say it's diff for everyone. I know that mine were nothing compared to what I terrified myself for though. They are awful and suck the big one,but I've survived. Even found lots to smile about these past 8 days. Don't sleep much,muscle craps in my legs and no appetite is the biggest things. But everyday gets better.

Hi Hope,  please correct me if I'm wrong, but you are taking Morphine, Lortabs, and Percocet? Is that right? If so, that is a lot of Opiates.  They are all pretty much the same thing just different degrees of strength.  We really can not advise you on specific tapering instructions. You really need to see a different doctor and let them know exactly what you have been taking, how much per day, for how long, and why you've been taking them.  You will need, with a doctors help, an alternative solution for your pain issues.  We will Definately help you with any emotional support, and can help you with any type of withdrawal symptoms, and advice on how to ease them.  Please get yourself to another doctor ASAP. I know the laws have changed recently, and that's why you should see a doctor soon. I'm worried that your situation will get worse.

Please take care, and let us know how you are doing. I wish you all the best.
