I have been on morphine sulfate 60mg for 13 years to manage my migraines. The doctor that I was seeing at the pain clinic left and a new doctor is practicing now. Doctor said he was going to take me off the morphine. I told him I was scared but willing. I told him I realized my body was chemically addicted. He told me not to worry he would keep the withdrawls to a minimum. The doctor gave me clonidine and told me to take 1 three times a day. I am having horrible withdrawl symptoms. I called a clinic in Michigan and they said doctors only know how to get patients hooked, but have no clue how to get them off opiates. I am a college student and I told my doctor this and he assured me I would be ok. I was told the clonidine is to keep my blood pressure under control so I don't havea stroke or go into cardiac arrest. The clinic in Michigan stated it was barberick what they were doing to me. I have anxiety, nausea, leg spasms, having trouble walking, can't sleep. I feel like I am in HELL. I pray at night that the lord makes it stop or my heart will stop. I call the doctors office to talk to the and they treat me like I am a junky and they were the ones prescribing it to me. I am going to college to be a nurse, but if being a nurse has to do with being inhumane, I want nothing to do with it. I have no confidence in the medical field anymore. I just hope I make it through this.
