oxy or morphine withdrwal

[rocketmentor]

Which is worse, oxycodone or morphine withdrwal?  
I was taking 360 mg oxy a combo of time and fast release. When I dropped to 300 mg I went thrugh difficult withdrwal then switched to  300mg of Kadian per day then dropped to 50 mg 4 times a day with little discomfort. It feels like I could keep on dropping my dose with little discomfort, is that true? Can I I want to be free of all opiates. It seems withdrwals from morphine will be easier, is this true?

Hi Rocketmentor,

Tuck gave you some EXCELLENT advice as to where to find the BEST information as to what to expect when having withdrawals.  They can give you some EXCELLENT advice as to how to having the LEAST w/d symptoms.  The Substance Abuse Form IS the VERY best place to find out about w/d information.  They are VRY kind over there and would LOVE to be of assistance to you!!

I wish you the VERY best and PLEASE let us know how you are doing!!.......Sherry

Hello Rocketmentor,

Please don't think that I am insinuating you are having a substance issue....but I suggest that you post your question in the Substance Abuse Forum. I suggest this ONLY because they have much more experience with withdrawal and medications in this matter.

I am not sure which one is more difficult to withdrawal from...as I think all our systems are a bit different.

Best of luck to you.
