detoxing from opiates with morphine with heart disease

If you have been using opiates for pain for many years and have to stop taking them because they no longer help with pain, but cause pain & are changed to morphine pills at decreasing levels, before using suboxone how will this affect your heart disease. ( already have had by-pass, stents and may heart meds.)

Hi mi mi. LuvD is right. Do this under the strict supervision of your cardiologist. All the meds and changes can put a lot of stress on your heart. Sounds like you are going up the ladder in potency of drugs, and Im not sure I fully understand your situation. Hydro, oxy and dilaudid are potent, morphine is very potent and sub is more potent that. Why are you going on subs? I strongly suggest you don't. Id rather see you on the morphine. Can you tell us a little more of your story?

Hi there. With my past experience detoxing from opiates with heart issues. Do this under cardiologist supervision. It can be very dangerous or at least for me it was. A healthy person detox is hard... but normally safe. Others will be along to give you their experience. Hang in there.
