what i know is LOW Protein diet to lessen the burden of the liver, as what i can remember, for end stage , NO Protein in Diet is prescribed.

Usually straight morphine because the liver does not have to metabolize it . But regular blood test must be done to assure that the drug does not build up from the compensated liver. your liver specialist should help. this is not out of the norm for cirrhosis patience.
