Have Questions About Addiction? Ask an Addict!

Hello I made a big mistake and got into morphine. I formed a habbit and now i have quit but im getting really sick. Is there any help with morphine withdrawal? I am in poor health and i'm afraid im too physically addicted and even though i have the will to stop using the physical affect is killing me. Any advice??

Dear Newbie,

I usually went through withdrawal cold turkey.  It was three days of hell and a few weeks of symptoms like the flu ( and I was pregnant)  but I made it and will never go through that hell again.

I know nthing about your addiction, your state of health and/or your support system, so I will recomment that you step down easy:  go to a doctor or your local mental health department  and ask for help.  The help they give is usually suboxone, another substance that makes it possible to step down easily, without the three days of hell of cold turkey, but realize that you are then addicted to suboxone and need to sloly wean yourself off of that as well.  It will definitely help to receive counceling at the same time.

And please write here as often as you want.  It helps to talk about it.

Peace,

Freyja
