Seannnn. I'm certainly not a doctor, but I don't think it would be wise to switch from one drug to another. Why did you start taking the morphine to begin with? Was it prescribed? If so, for what?

There is a mental health forum at Med Help that I think also deals with drug dependency.  You could ask the doctor over there.  Sominex or the store brand of Sominex works well for me.  I take two.  Also talk to your doctor about maybe helping you through the withdrawls.  He may even prescribe a xanax or kalonopin which helps with anxiety and "shuts" off your brain so you are relaxed and able to sleep.  Good Luck!

id seek professional help with this one. dont know about withdrawls from this med. but maybe there are some natural remedies that can help. unfortunatly you may have to just go cold turkey and get through it. if you were prescribed these meds by your dr have them help you. if you were buying them for personal use maybe check out a narcotics anonymous meeting so you can get the support of others that have been through the same situation. you'd be surprised. not judging just giving you my opinion on both ideas. good luck
