want some support and advice

Hey there..new to this forum. Have gotten so much help just from reading what others are going through. I have been on pain meds for 6 yrs. 2 major back surgeries, and still in pain. Doctor gave me Kadian to help with pain. Does anyone know if I can quit taking percocet and loritab cold turkey while on kadian? Will I still go through withdrawl? Have begun tapering off...or so I am telling my husband. I want to quit the daily abuse and just take one pill. The kadian has eliminated a lot of the pain. I feel better, but want to stop with the other meds. I know I will have to get off the Kadian at some point as well, but this is the first time I haven't been in pain for years. Please let me know if anyone else has tried this...

MS Contin is a slow release morphine. You would be just trading opiates for opiates.
