I know it is a hard one! I tried the first time to tapper of Morphine XR 15mg and at the end of tapper with assistance of acupuncture as well,it was BAD pain for me, and moods were out of control.So then I got back on and then I went on a vacation to the islands a few weeks ago with family members that are in medical field(I know this is not suggested and my PD got VERY ANGRY)but I cold turkey stopped because the medicine was horrible on my breathing, thyroid, digestive etc.

The medication helped with chronic pain and made the acute pain worse. I was sick for about 3 days but was still able to enjoy the beach etc. I had the perfect detox scenario of a great ecosystem to consume. I am still having some lingering withdrawal issues like headaches, eye aches, and depression. I am doing acupuncture for the chronic pain and withdrawal. Everyday I feel it getting better.
