hi, and welcome, i i have also an addiction to opiates, and in recovery now, i think its good you decided to stop all this, who wants to live a life tied to drugs, i dont have a vast experience of all the meds you mention, but i think your weening down from morphine pretty quickly, i do think you are right to taper from this but its very hard, and needs a lot of strength and resolve, are you doing this alone?, i dont know about the clonopin, i did mine cold turkey, with the help of imodium for stomache problems, drinking plenty of fluids, hot baths as you say, calcium/ potassium supplements, there is the thomas recipe on the health pages, top right hand corner of this page, lots of things to help you there, i hope you make it this time, and you get some after care in place, so you dont go down this road again, its not worth it, someone with a bit more experience of the things your on will advise you, and you will get lots of help on here, i really wish you the best, god bless,  sudie
