opiate withdrawal process

There are over the counter medication  to help with withdrawls. I have been on morphine fo 3 years, I have experiiance in this area for sure! I know a few tricks. First thing you have to do is cut back, cutting back, make the withdrawl process less. don't cut back to fast!!!!! get down to the least amount 1x a day when you get back to a low dose take that low dose for at least 2 weeks, dont forget not to cut back to fast. durring the acctual withdrawlling, it should take between 3 and 7 days to go threw the bad withdrawls. most only 3 to 5 days depending on the amount and length of time on the mediction.  There are medications to help, several, DXM is found in robitussin, but has been found in studies to be helpfull in the pocess. also Imodium AD 4 to 6mg it has the same acting effects as pain medication effects it slows down the intestine tract, thus creating the same effect as pain medications. These two are the main helpers!!!  You have to have these. The liquid form of Imodium is the best but also get the pills, so you can take the pills at the same time you took the pain meds. Make sure you take the liquid befor the onset of symptoms begin. also you will need sominex! This is great for sleepraming!  Just take it at night thow! Taking it durring the day may effect it working at night. also for the musles of flaggling legs, you need Aleve its good for that!!!  Now if you can get to a family doctor you can get all of these mentioned above in a perscription strength, and can add a few to help like tramadol and wellbutin, they can also be a big help.  Its not fun and of course its best to talk to a doctor.  This is not an easy process no matter what butt these can lessen the symptoms alot.  One time I just quit and had to call an ambulance and they ended up just giving me more pain meds, so you need to take something to help and remember this will pass you just have to hang in there. On the other side you go threw depression and its bad!!  You have to redirect your brain, continue to tell yourself, this hurt is just worse because i am withdrawling and my brain is making if feel worse than what it is. my depression is because i am withdrawling and  this to shall pass.  Also try to have someone around you HAVE to drink alot!  everyhour DRINK! and get soup around! its easyer to get back up! Like I said you will stay have symptoms but this WILL help. :) Just remember the key CUTT BACK FIRST! and not too fast!!!! Take it slow..... Good Luck:) i really wish you well..........please fix this because it will only get worse..
