Hi, I'm 39 & actually have been on an implanted Morphine pain pump since 2000. I throught I'd get off of it, so I had it dosed down from 20mg/day to under 1 mg (.0825)/day and was told I'd have no withdrawal. 4 days later I started sneezing, had chills, anxiety, restlessness, and extremely unbearable body aches. I felt like I wanted to kick and scream. My pain management prescribed me lots of Endocet (generic Percocet), and I took less than they prescribed and tried to be strong. However, it's been 3 months, the doctor won't prescribe me any pain medication for my pain or withdrawal, and even though I was taking only slivers per day I still feel terrible. I have been taking Aleve which helps a TINY bit, but have given up and will have my pump turned on in a few days. My doctor wouldn't even give me pain medications to help until they get my Morphine medications to refill my pump, which makes no sense since I will still be dependent on the Morphine which is an opiate. I've heard that opiate addiction can last for several months and that a person can have relapses even longer. It's a nasty cycle and I pray for everyone who goes through it. Until my pump is refilled I feel like I just want to die, and my pain is what it is, and it sucks! Good luck to you!

I have been on the fentanyl patch 75mcg and percocet for months now. I told my Dr. I was done, no more opiates. The pain mgmt clinic is very helpful in getting you strung out but no so much trying to stop. They know nothing about addiction medicine. They wanted to taper me down in a process that would have taken months. I told them NO. As a addcition counselor myself I know there are ways to quit cold turkey and then manage the side effects of the kick. Its not comfortable, but its quick and your done. They wouldn't help. Im in my 3rd day now of nothing. My 1st 2 nights have been hell. Twitching, thrashing, near screaming. Having never had to kick myself I don't know how much longer this will go on....but I pray it will end soon.
