I've been doing presciption morphine for awhile and I want to stop, I tried cold turkey but It was just to much for me, How can I get off this stuff with out dealing with the horrible withdrawlls? My main fear is, I seem to go into resperatory deppression and that makes me feel like I'm dying, I panic and can't seem to catch my breath, I have severe claustapobia and it feels like that times a million! everything is just closing in on me...I feel so weak from this drug..Can I be more mentally hooked than physically?..
I don't see a spellcheck, so please forgive my typo's
I'm new to this forum and I've been reading posts for most of the day,,I wanna say what great and caring people everybody seems to be..
Thanks for any advice and tips you might send my way....-John
Hey John, do you have any other place close to you that you could go to help assist you in weening off, you may find something by googling it in for your area/state. Is wiser to have assistance in getting off this drug slowly honey & w/the least amount of symptoms. Have you looked around this site for other options?
Hi April, Yes, I just looked up a Dr. that deals with addictions. There’s only one in this small town. I was born and Raised in Phx. Az. and I recently moved to Payson, a tiny little town up in the mountais, about 90 miles from Phx.
I’ve been reading post’s here for the last couple days and sure have found out alot of things i didn’t know!..
Slow and with the least amount of symptoms. oh my gawd that’s what I want, but how?..If i miss my schedual by more than an hour or so it takes 4 hours to get back to feeling normal,How does the weening off process work?
Thank you April…Hope your doing OK…-John
Weening off by taking smaller amounts/dosage at a time for a period of time say a week, a month til your body adjusts, then cutting that dose etc, etc. I dont know anything about morphine as I'm a smoker & havent quit yet but their killing me slowly.
AZ. I love Az., I'm from Ca. born & raised but 15yrs ago moved to MS. culture shock but cheasper cost of living. You have alot of resources in Az. theres nothing where I live as its the poorest state in the nation so at least you have a fighting chance to help yourself w/a clinic or program maybe through a government program if one qualifies.
I admire you for attempting to seek any & all assistance so my heart goes out to you & keep doing your best to help yourself friend.
We're always here to talk w/when you need a friend & no your not alone unless my computer craps out ugh........
Thanks April, when you say smoker do you mean cigs??, I’m sorry I’m so naive about addictions…And I am gonna seek help from a Dr. this coming week…
Thank you so much for being there for myself and other people, I’m so glad I found this site, everyone has been so helpful and that definitly makes it a little easyier to get thru the day…I try not to think of my PC going down,OMG what would we do?
Hey honey, ATTA BOY, now know in your heart you've got friends right here to talk anything through with. Are you gonna attend any type of outside resources if necessary to continue staying on top of the world with the pride I sense from your post????
Just a thought when you feel up to it maybe you could post your experience on the detox so others will not be too concerned & that way you'll continue helping others out there.
