STOPING METHADONE AND MORPHINE

[pptil]

I have been taking 30 mg of methadone(15mg 2x/day),and 200 mg of morphine(100mg 2x/day) extended release for more than a year.
I want to stop taking both.Whats the best way to slow taper it?
I have the this scripts,and also one for 30mg morphine imediate release.
I need a good plan to get clean.Is there any other drug(benzos,anti histaminics....)that can help?
The sweating when stoping makes me really crazy.Is there something I can take to help it?
thank you all very much

K, man lets see....I just recently went through some changes myself....if you care to read my intro part 1 in member hello goodbyes you will get a general background...I am right at maybe a lil more per day mg wise as you...I have done done in past was rx 5mg 4 times a day but after reading how hard it is to shake i took rest of bottle back to doc said no thanks put me back on hydromorphone and ms contin. Anyhow...I would stick with the ms contin and get off the done for a solid month of NO DONE!@!!!! it is hardest to shake and takes up to 30 days to kick, then taper as low and fast as u can on morphine. I have read it is harder to kick doing 100mg once a day...so all in one round then to knock 10mg 10times a day...even though same amount it is getting the receptors to taper and not from them being use to 100mg bammmm all at once....anyhow...get down as LOW as you can once u are down to virtually nothing like 5 mg few times a day but a bunch of Imodium AD, sleeping aids, such as valium, or otc sleep stuff some aleve of naproxim, and bunch of sprite, juice etc...dehydration can be a big problem coming off stuff and if you are like me u may not eat anything...so juice or chicken broth is good. take like 4 or 5 imodiums everytime u feel sweats and discomfort take 1 or 2 aleve as well, and try to sleep as much as u can. evertime u are up drink lots of fluids and broth.

This will not be easy the first 4 days are hardest physically then mentally it is hard after that....good luck let me know if you need anything else...also Kratom can work too....

Why are u getting off everything? r u a recreational user or injured and now better but have kept using stuff??

I would taper off of the methadone first while still taking the same amount of morphine. Once you are no longer taking the methadone, you can start tapering down from the 200mg of morphine.

It is much easier to stop taking morphine alone compared to methadone alone or morphine + methadone.
