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.
